"We are very excited about our new publishing agreement with John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and with Dolf De Roos and Diane Kennedy. One of NAR's goals has been to develop publications designed for both REALTORS® and consumers that promote the outstanding benefits of owning real estate and of working with REALTORS® to accomplish that dream.
