Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Shaun Jillions, Vice-President of Public Policy for the Oregon Association of Realtors (OAR). Shaun and I discussed how OAR champions the cause of property owners, real estate broker owners, and real estate brokers across Oregon and nationally in our Oregon legislative sessions. The interview covers a wide range of topics including the new continuing education requirements for brokers in Oregon and the Protect Oregon Homes initiative (Transfer Tax).
