In the litigation landscape that the National Association of REALTORS® is facing today, much of what NAR is fighting is misinformation, mischaracterization and lack of understanding or education.

You can help by taking the time to help educate your clients on the value and protection you provide for them as a REALTOR®.

NAR Needs Your Help!

NAR needs your help to educate consumers about how local MLS housing marketplaces work and promote equity, transparency and market-driven pricing options for consumers as well as the incredible value you provide

NAR has developed two websites for you to use to help explain your value to your clients.

Competition.realtor

This site is a place to send people who have questions, and it’s a resource for you to pull things you need to be ambassadors with clients and others in your community. The site hosts fact sheets, FAQs, articles, infographics and other information you can use.

RENE - Real Estate Negotiation Expert

Want to sharpen your negotiation skills? The certification program gives REALTORS® the tips and tools they need to be skillful advocates for their clients. Course may be used as the elective needed for the ABR Designation.
