We have jurisdictional responsibility for REALTORS ® in approximately the eastern third of the state. Our members have tasked us with providing certain information to the public. The purpose in providing this information is to allow a prospective buyer and seller to be better prepared in accomplishing their task. We welcome your comments on how to make this site more useful to you.
