Government Affairs & PSF Committee

Now more than ever, our industry is subject to regulations and proposed laws that can make your life as a REALTOR® difficult. The Government Affairs Committee reviews local city and county issues and proposals that impact our business. They make recommendations to the DERA Board of Directors on policy positions and strategies to benefit the real estate industry.

PSF gives you an opportunity to elect and support candidates who understand what will keep your business going strong. When REALTORS® from across the state come together, we have a powerful voice on taxing, fees, regulations and other issues that will create a healthy business climate for REALTORS® and support the private property rights of all Coloradans. PSF is funded entirely by voluntary dues. Members of this committee help educate the membership of what it is, and how they can contribute and/or participate.

Professional Standards Committee

This committee is for those who truly want to help members adhere to the Code of Ethics. After training, you would have the opportunity to serve on panels for ethics and arbitration hearings as needed.
