nlock Your Potential: How NAR Membership Empowers You to Reach New Heights
Imagine having a team of experts working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure your voice is heard in the halls of power. As a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, you have access to a wealth of resources that can help you achieve your goals and grow your business.
At NAR, we understand that every agent has unique needs and aspirations. That's why we've developed four key areas of support: Advocacy, Research, Education, and Community. Let's dive into each of these benefits and explore how they can help you succeed:
**Advocacy: Your Voice in the Halls of Power**
As a REALTOR®, you have a direct impact on local, state, and federal decisions through NAR's advocacy teams. Our experts monitor legislation and agency rules, provide expert guidance to federal agencies, and engage with members of Congress to ensure your interests are represented.
Take Florida State Rep. Danny Nix Jr., for example, who credits RPAC (the REALTORS® Political Action Committee) with helping him achieve his goals in the state legislature. With support from RPAC, he was elected to serve his first term in Florida's House of Representatives and continues to advocate for real estate priorities.
**Research: The Power of Data**
As a member of NAR, you have access to world-class research that can help you stay ahead of the curve. Our team publishes statistical releases, research reports, and provides expert analysis on market trends and conditions.
Mark Donnelly, an associate broker at Howard Hanna Coach REALTORS®, credits NAR's research team with helping him provide valuable insights to his clients. "The sources we go to are the ones we trust the most," he says. "NAR's research is a game-changer for agents who want to be informed and accurate in their advice."
**Education: Grow Your Skills and Expertise**
At NAR, we believe that knowledge is power. That's why we offer discounted access to select certification and designation courses, as well as on-demand training programs on topics like fair housing and ethics.
Charlene Roberge, a broker-owner with Lagonda Creek Real Estate in Springfield, Ohio, has an impressive 17 designations. She credits NAR's education programs for helping her stay ahead of the curve and provide exceptional service to her clients.
**Community: Connect with Like-Minded Professionals**
As a member of NAR, you're part of a vibrant community that shares your passion for real estate and commitment to excellence. From local associations to national conferences, we offer countless opportunities to connect with fellow REALTORS® who can help you grow your network and advance your career.
Jairo Rodriguez, an agent with Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty in Montclair, N.J., credits the Young Professionals Network (YPN) with helping him find his tribe. "I consider many of them my family," he says. "What I love is that collaboration. Everyone's willing to share and help each other out no matter what company you're with."
