MBA is the voice of
the real estate finance industry.

We work to clarify issues, preserve policies and protect the interests of our members by staying in close communication with Congress, the administration, state and local officials and regulatory bodies, as well as the general public.

We speak with a single voice, representing both residential and commercial/multifamily interests. In short, when we take a position, we speak for a broad constituency and we put forth a consensus forged by the entire industry. We recently published MBA's 2013 Industry-wide Legislative and Regulatory Priorities and our new two-year macroeconomic and mortgage finance/housing forecasts. You may also view MBA's Issue Briefs for more information.

The legislative and regulatory advocates, in conjunction with our governing committees, works hard on behalf of our members and the real estate finance industry. Each Monday, MBA's Legislative and Political Affairs Department with the Public Policy and Industry Relations Department provides a detailed report on MBA advocacy activities in MBA NewsLink.
