Real Estate Roundtable President and CEO Jeffrey DeBoer has been recognized as one of the “Top Lobbyists” in Washington, D.C. for 2024, according to the prominent policy news publication, The Hill. This marks the seventh consecutive year that DeBoer has received this honor. (The Hill, Dec. 5)

• The Hill noted that their list details “some of the best in the business and those that have been “go-to advocates during a year defined by unprecedented political events, legislative logjams, federal spending cut crusades and big rulemaking swings by the outgoing Biden administration.”

• DeBoer stated, “I am truly honored to be recognized by The Hill for my work, especially in a city with more than 12,000 lobbyists. This recognition, though, really is a testament to the overall Roundtable team, leadership, and membership.”

DeBoer added, “This acknowledgment underscores the importance of the fact-based advocacy work we do to advance policies that foster solid real estate asset values, spur job opportunities, economic growth and strengthen communities nationwide.”

• The Top Lobbyists 2023 list includes “impactful advocates (who) stand out for the results they’ve delivered for their clients, companies, trade associations and advocacy groups in the nation’s capital.”

• The Hill also noted that after pandemic restrictions were lifted, “these top lobbyists had to navigate a divided Congress—and not just the traditional Republican and Democratic divisions” as a flood of regulatory activity flowed from the Biden administration.

DeBoer commented, “I am honored to lead The Real Estate Roundtable’s policy advocacy efforts and very humbled to be included on The Hill’s top lobbyist list. This personal recognition by The Hill reflects the collective efforts of the Roundtable membership, leadership, and staff. Together we work very hard to deliver non-partisan, data-based policy positions, guided by what is good for communities, job creation, and the economy. This has always been the foundation of our organization’s effectiveness, and it has proven to be even more critical given today’s increasingly challenging policy environment.”
