The Hampton Roads Realtors Association hooped it up recently with March New Homes Madness at the Marriott Chesapeake.

Presented by HRRA’s New Homes Council, the basketball-themed event offered hundreds of Realtors the opportunity to network and enjoy contests and games at exhibitor booths for builders, new-homes communities and other affiliate members.
