The More Things Change ...

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has thrived for 100 years by staying true to course on key issues.
It’s a Good Time to Buy

With many buyers today sitting on the fence, NAR has launched new advertisements that remind consumers about the long-term benefits of homeownership. It’s been an ongoing theme for the association from the economic doldrums of 1931 to the boom times of 1959 and beyond.

Banks: Stay Out

Since 2002, NAR has been battling the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department to keep big banking interests from engaging in real estate brokerage and management. NAR helped win the same battle on behalf of property managers in 1972.

Americans Need the FHA

In today’s tight mortgage market, NAR is advocating for the expansion of the FHA loan program as a safe, affordable alternative for borrowers. REALTORS® were key players in the passage of the 1934 housing act that created the FHA.
