This week, we are on location at the Georgia Capitol with GAR's Chief Advocacy Officer (and our lobbyist and REALTOR® Champion Extraordinaire -- that's not his official title, that's just what I call him!), Jeff Ledford. GAR's REALTOR® Days at the Dome is coming up in just two weeks -- March 3 and 4, 2020 -- and Jeff took some time out of his busy day at the Capitol, where our State Legislature is currently in session, to give me a preview of what to expect and why Georgia REALTORS® should register now to attend!

GEORGIA REALTORS® Days at the Dome is an annual event that brings REALTORS® to Atlanta from across Georgia to meet with our elected officials.
