Great American Realtor Days 2013
Great American Realtor Days (GARD) is held during Florida's Legislative session when Realtors visit the Capitol to meet with and lobby Legislators on pending real estate legislation.

The 2013 Rally for Homeownership at the state's Capitol Building in Tallahassee was attended by a historic number of Realtors from all over the state. The Liberty Voices ensemble began the event and filled the Capitol Courtyard with patriotic songs. The highlight was the presentation of a mortgate-free home to a wounded Florida veteran, retired Army Sgt. Michael Burke and his family, by Florida Realtors, in partnership with Military Warriors Support Foundation and Chase Bank. The Rally was the finale to GARD and demonstrated the importance of homeownership to families and to the state's economy.
