ABoR’s advocacy mission is simple: protect our members’ livelihoods and the well-being of their clients, because it’s the right thing to do for our community.
ABoR is a tireless advocate for our members and their clients. We believe everyone should be able to own property, free from burdensome taxes and regulations, in a healthy and sustainable community. That’s why ABoR’s advocacy efforts focus on three critical areas; property rights, strategic land use, and business issues and practices.
ABoR's advocacy is supported by TREPAC, the Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee, which helps us to foster strong relationships with elected officials, policy experts, and governmental agencies to ensure that ABoR has a seat at the table.
ABoR’s advocacy efforts are focused on three critical areas:
Property Rights
ABoR is a strong supporter of property rights which includes the freedom to buy, sell, and utilize property, as protected in the Fifth Amendment. We think our members’ clients ought to have the freedom to realize the highest and best use of their property, with limited restrictions.BoR believes everyone should be able to buy, sell and use property, as protected in the Fifth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution.

Strategic Land Use
ABoR supports the strategic use of land planning and promotes a focus on creating housing capacity that ensures a stable and healthy housing market. We believe that the interests of Central Texas and its residents require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership.
Business Issues and Practices
ABoR believes that real estate transactions can facilitate and support economic stability through the benefits of homeownership and community investment. We work to prevent unnecessary or harmful regulations that infringe on an individual’s or business’ ability to conduct business without government interference.
