This year the HRRA created a new annual award to highlight the great work being done by our public servants. The Housing Advocate of the Year award is our way of saying thank you for efforts to improve access to housing, support homeownership, and protect private property rights in Hampton Roads. The award was presented at the Installation of HRRAs 2011 Board of Directors on December 10, 2010. Del. Iaquinto is a local leader, who has been engaged with HRRA to effectively advocate for homeowners and the housing community. In 2005 he was elected to represent the 84th District and he has been a consistent supporter of homeowners throughout his career in the Virginia House of Delegates. He worked closely with HRRA to champion legislation that protected struggling homeowners from foreclosure scams. He has also fought for homeowners and REALTORS on issues such as eminent domain protections, referral fees charged by attorneys, and the procedures for challenging property assessments. Due to his continued efforts through elected office, we would like to recognize him for his admirable work with this award. Karen Gaskins, 2010 Chairman of HRRA remarked, We are extremely grateful for all the work that Delegate Sal Iaquinto has done, and for everything he continues to do. With the help of lawmakers like Del. Iaquinto, we can continue to make Hampton Roads the best place to live, work, and raise a family. The Hampton Roads REALTORS Association is The Center for Real Estate in Southeast Virginia, representing more than 3,000 REALTORS and related businesses. HRRA is one of the largest associations of REALTORS in the state of Virginia. Call HRRA at (757) 473-9700, or visit www.CenterForRealEstate.com. ### |
