If you take action against unfair housing today by completing the Fairhaven training then you will be rewarded with the How to Build Wealth From Your Existing Database Webinar.

Fairhaven is a town every REALTOR® should visit. Online, that is.

In November 2020, NAR launched Fairhaven, a new fair housing simulation training for REALTORS® that uses the power of storytelling
to help members identify, prevent, and address discriminatory practices in real estate. Inspired by real stories, this innovative online experience has agents work against the clock to sell homes in the fictional town of Fairhaven while confronting discrimination in the homebuying process. Learners will also walk in the shoes of a homebuyer facing discrimination. The training provides customized feedback that learners can apply to daily business interactions.

This innovative training platform is available to all NAR members at no additional cost. Be an advocate for fair housing and the future of our industry. Commit to combating discrimination in real estate.

Get started by visiting fairhaven.realtor (link is external) to explore the fictional town of Fairhaven and assess how well you are adhering to fair housing principles. Once you complete the NAR Fairhaven Training, you will earn your FREE How to Build Wealth From Your Existing Database (link is external) webinar. This workshop will teach you how to start conversations with people in your database and move them through deeper phases of your funnel. Using these high-yield strategies, you'll walk away with an objective, personalized, and scalable process to take each new lead from subscriber to evangelist. This offer expires on April 15, 2022.

Please note, that only members of the National Association of REALTORS® with Member IDs are eligible to receive the reward associated with this offer. You will be sent a unique coupon code from the MVP system to redeem your reward from the REALTOR® Store within two business days of taking the action.

NC REALTORS® RPAC Investing
A key component of the REALTOR® Party is the North Carolina REALTORS® Political Action Committee (NC REALTORS® PAC). The sole purpose of NC REALTORS® PAC is to help elect real estate-friendly candidates to public office.
NC REALTORS® PAC supports candidates who understand and champion the interests of North Carolina REALTORS®, regardless of their political affiliation. NC REALTORS® PAC backs candidates in primary, general, and run-off elections.
NC REALTORS® PAC is effective because it allows REALTORS® to work with all political parties to enact legislation that protects the real estate industry, current, and future homeowners, the real estate-based economy, and private property rights. Not only is NC REALTORS® PAC one of the most nonpartisan political action committees in the state–it is the most successful.

Why should you invest in NC REALTORS® PAC?
Consider RPAC’s record from the 2020 election cycle.
  • 95.6% of RPAC-supported candidates for the North Carolina General Assembly won.
  • 100% of RPAC-supported candidates for the U.S. Congress won.

Suggested amounts are merely guidelines and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amounts. The National Association of REALTORS® and its state and local associations will not favor or disadvantage any member because of the amount contributed or a decision not to contribute. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal. Your contribution is split between National RPAC and the State PAC in your state. NC RPAC supports the efforts of National RPAC and contributes a portion of its contributions to National RPAC. Contact your State Association or PAC for information about the percentages of your contribution provided to National RPAC and to the State PAC. The National RPAC portion is used to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 52 U.S.C. 30116. In-kind contributions/donations are not included for the purposes of the National RPAC State PAC split. NC law requires political committees to report the name, mailing address, job title or profession and name of employer or employee's specific field for each individual whose contributions aggregate is in excess of $50 in an election cycle.
