Some 10,000 real estate agents are expected to rally Thursday in Washington, D.C., against changes that they say could limit or discourage homeownership.

The government?s role in furthering homeownership is being challenged, as are certain tax benefits, such as mortgage interest deduction. Not coincidentally, those issues affect the agents? livelihood.

Dionna Hall, senior vice president of the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches, said in a statement that many potential buyers in Palm Beach County with good jobs and strong credit can?t get mortgages. ?Realtors believe that everyone should have the opportunity to pursue the dream of homeownership, and we will fight against obstacles that make it more difficult for people to buy, own and invest real estate.?
