Guiding Philosophy

The REALTORS® of South Central Kansas represents over 2,400 real estate professionals in the Wichita Area. Our Association and its members believe that REALTORS^® have a role to play in every community faced with the challenges of growth and quality of life issues that are important to creating and supporting vibrant, developing areas. We believe that homeownership positively impacts neighborhoods, communities, and the economic stability of the Wichita Region.

We offer the benefits of our knowledge of real estate experience and technical facilities to the public in general and government in particular. The Association and its REALTOR^® members are dedicated to working with our elected officials to create better communities by supporting quality growth, seeking sustainable economies, and providing housing opportunities that embrace the environmental qualities we value while protecting the rights of private property owners.

RSCK Government Affairs Committee Mission Statement

As "The Voice of Real Estate" in the Wichita Area, it is the responsibility of the Association and its members to remain vigilant in the affairs of government. The Association urges members to become involved and participate in political activity at all levels of government. The Association will offer its services and support to candidates committed to the free enterprise system and the protection of the rights of private property owners. The RSCK Governmental Affairs Committee strives to maintain a proactive and non-partisan approach to protecting the interests of real estate professionals.

• The Governmental Affairs Committee is dedicated to keeping REALTORS^® informed of changes in law and public policy impacting the real estate profession. This includes encouraging all REALTOR^® members to actively participate in protecting private property rights.
• Through the monitoring of the legislative process and legislation under consideration and through effective communication with legislators representing the Wichita area the Governmental Affairs Committee works with the Kansas Association of REALTORS^® to affect legislation impacting the real estate industry.
• Support candidates who are dedicated to the free enterprise system and the support of private property rights, and assist such candidates in their legislative activities. Inform the KAR RPAC Trustees of candidates that are deserving of REALTOR^® support.
• Establish or participate in the grassroots political forces which assist in issue awareness and the selection of candidates who will carry out the basic philosophy of our Association.

It is deemed to be in the best interest of the REALTORS^® of South Central Kansas that in order to maintain credibility in the Association’s lobbying efforts, that all official positions, statements, and correspondence pertaining to legislative issues be expressed by the current Chairperson of the RSCK Governmental Affairs Committee or the Association President in conjunction with the Governmental Affairs Chairperson and the RSCK Government Affairs Director.
