Description

On a special Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by President & CEO of Real Estate Roundtable, Jeff DeBoer, and President of NMHC, Sharon Wilson Géno, who shared invaluable insights on the state of CRE. Jeff has been at the forefront of national policy affecting the real estate industry for the past thirty-five years, and Sharon has guided government entities around housing affordability, community development, and other policy challenges for more than 30 years. They discussed hot topics including the convergence of real estate and politics, the effect of the banking crisis on multifamily housing, the affordable housing crisis, and much more.
