May 1, 2015 – DALLAS – The MetroTex Association of Realtors today announced its decision to endorse Armin Mizani in his re-election bid for Keller City Council. MetroTex President Steve Habgood applauded Mizani’s commitment to Texas homeowners.

“North Texas is experiencing an exciting and challenging housing market,” said Habgood. “That’s why we need local leaders like Armin Mizani who understand the impact of key decisions on housing in their communities.”

Dallas-Fort Worth has the nation’s most active housing market, with days on market among the shortest in the country and sales rising at twice the national average rate. To maintain that momentum, local governments must understand homeowners’ concerns and act to bolster homeownership in the area. Supporting those efforts is the Association’s top priority this election season. Through the candidate interview process of the MetroTex Association of Realtors, Armin Mizani clearly showed a command of issues critical to sustaining our economy, as well as the needs and challenges our fast-growing area will encounter in the future.

Early voting continues through May 5, 2015 with Election Day on May 9.
