Happy New Year!

 

The CBR Board of Directors and Committees are working hard to prepare a 2024 to assist you!  Check out these upcoming events and watch your emails for future events!

How many members?  

The Cheyenne Board of REALTORS® is starting 2024 with 457 REALTOR® members.  In 2023 CBR added 49 new REALTOR® members and saw 68 REALTORS® leave the board.  Overall, CBR experienced a 13% decrease in membership.  We are expecting membership to gain again in 2024 -- we've already received 3 new applications today!

Let's Reduce Property Taxes! --- WAIT, is that good for Wyoming?

The January Lunch-n-Learn topic is Property Taxes.  There are 2 proposals to reduce property taxes, a "citizen's initiative" and a "constitutional amendment".  You'll hear presentations from both groups on January 25th so YOU can decide which one to support and have the knowledge to advise your customers and clients.  You'll also hear from County Commissioner, Gunnar Malm, on how reductions in property taxes could affect local (city/state) budgets and services that your tax dollars provides.
