Government Affairs

OAR works with the Oklahoma Legislature regarding the laws and policies that impact Oklahoma’s real estate industry.

The association provides members with information and a forum for participating in the conversation as we work to promote favorable policies for real estate property owners.

Together, we can make a difference. For example, the association recently played a significant role in the Protect Property Rights Act of 2014 and the refined Broker Relationship Act. This act brings the law up to date, doing a better job of defining the representation real estate professionals provide their clients. It makes providing information vital, so all parties can make informed decisions.
