Riding with the Brand Kicks Off
The National Association of REALTORS® announced its nationwide motor coach tour, Riding with the Brand. Working with state REALTOR® associations, NAR is planning tour stops or affiliated events in every U.S. state over the next year, using the opportunity to engage REALTORS® and emphasize their opportunities to strengthen market conditions for U.S. consumers.

Riding with the Brand 2023 is a nationwide, multi-stop association member activation tour. The goal is to engage thousands of members nationwide by executing visits that can support member engagement, member recruitment and retention, and community engagement.
