THE POWER OF ONE MILLION
The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® reached 1 million members in March, symbolizing the importance of real estate to the American economy and to the thousands of communities in which you practice. The number also serves as an apt metaphor for your strong voice on Capitol Hill. In this special section, we track other milestones in NAR’s history, explore the economic ramifications of 1 million members, introduce you to some of the newest NAR members, and look at how your business is portrayed in popular culture. Also get an early look at the new NAR building in Washington, D.C.
