ANNUAL REAL ESTATE UPDATE

This informative event offers the opportunity to learn from guest speakers and panelists about what's new in residential and commercial Real Estate and how developments will affect businesses and the community. 

Bethesda Real Estate & the NAR Lawsuit Update

Jane Fairweather

• Get up to date on all the latest trends and issues in the world of Bethesda real estate, as well as the down and dirty on the National Association of Realtors Lawsuit settlement and how it is going to impact residential real estate going forward. Will buyers have to start paying agent commissions? Is this good? Is this bad? Only Jane knows. 

Head Winds of Change

Moderator Casey Anderson - Panel - Adam Pagnucco (Maryland Perspective), Brian Anleu (AOBA), Jack Alexander (AMR)

• Despite beating back new real estate tax proposals, the local real estate market has plenty of challenges ahead. Crime, rent control, inflation, and a changing office world are all dynamic problems, and we’ve got four of the most informed professionals in Bethesda to talk you through it, so you can navigate the next 12 months as intelligently as possible. 

Crime in Bethesda and the Truth of the Matter

District 2 Commander Amy Daum

• When you watch the news or open up social media it sure seems like crime is up in Bethesda, but what’s really going on? Pull back the curtain, and let Commander Amy Daum give it to you straight, and answer any questions you have.
