On your way to the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo this May? I’m always curious to hear what you guys are packing in your carry-ons as reading material. If you still need to grab something, allow me to bring your attention to six books from a few of the presenters who will be in Washington, D.C. this spring (along with information about where you can find them at the May meetings).
