Each spring for the past 55 years Realtors across the country have helped their communities celebrate homeownership and private property rights during American Home Week. The annual event focuses on every American's right to own and transfer property and spotlights the role of Realtors in making the dream of owning a home a reality. Even though the week is a national celebration, observations vary by community. |
