“Our organization has worked with Russ Farrar and his government affairs team for many years. As a governmental risk pool providing insurance and risk management services to cities, towns and local agencies in Tennessee, it is crucial that we have sound lobbying efforts to evaluate and address bills that impact our members. In the time that we have engaged the services of RFRS Government Relations, we have had continuously successful outcomes.”

“For three decades, Russ Farrar and his firm have worked to protect private-property rights, advocate for issues that strengthen homeownership, and represent the interests of REALTORS® throughout Tennessee. We are confident in their team and their knowledge, and we look forward to the future.”

“The City of Murfreesboro has used the team of RFRS Government Relations as its lobbyist during the last 10 years of the Tennessee General Assembly. The team has been on top of every bill that concerns the city and has helped us navigate different issues with knowledge and leadership. They have been great at communication and kept the city updated at all times regarding different legislation. They allow us to have a team that is experienced and knowledgeable. I would recommend this team to handle governmental relations, and we look forward to a long relationship.”

“For more than 30 years, Russ Farrar has served as lobbyist for Tennessee REALTORS® and its 32,000-plus members with an unbelievable record of success. He accomplished even more by maintaining the strength and integrity of the Appraisal Foundation when an outside group attempted to introduce a bill to alter 25-year-old standards. The Appraisal Foundation, along with Tennessee REALTORS®, called on Russ for guidance and assistance in debating what was an extremely sensitive set of circumstances. The bill was eventually dropped and the Appraisal Foundation members said that Russ was some kind of genius in his handling of the situation. Tennessee REALTORS® would not be where it is today without Russ’ skill and strong, established working relationship with the Tennessee General Assembly.”
