We traveled by Amtrak down to Raleigh, NC for the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® (RRAR) Sustainability Summit—the only event of its type on the East Coast!
Two full days were dedicated to exploring Smart Growth, Property Resilience, Solar Integration, and Innovative Housing Solutions:
🔹 Solar & Appraisal: Real-world valuation strategies with lenders, appraisers, and insurers
🔹 Water & Resilience: Managing floodplains, stormwater, and risk protection
🔹 Housing Diversity: Why Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are key to housing affordability and ROI
🔹 Advocacy in Action: Collaborating alongside fellow leaders from the National Association of Realtors Sustainability Advisory Group
Bringing these forward-thinking solutions back home helps us build smarter, more sustainable, and resilient communities for tomorrow.
