Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) met with the Buffalo-Niagara Board of Realtors on Tuesday in his Albany office. The group represents a wide array of property managers, appraisers, bankers, attorneys and real estate agents who advocate for legislation benefiting the real estate profession.

“I was happy to meet with great minds and leaders from the real estate profession on Tuesday,” Hawley said. “The real estate market has yet to make a full recovery in New York State after the great recession, and skyrocketing property taxes statewide are making success in the profession very difficult. I was pleased to hear the concerns and input from industry leaders and pledged my continued support for their business as we near the end of the legislative session.”
