publishes every Wednesday. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is a very misunderstood organization. Yes, I fully realize many won’t want to hear this either but bear with me. Keep an open mind. Shouldn’t you know and understand more about your trade organization? In my beginning with NAR, I still remember walking into my broker’s office, the ink on my sales license not even dry. “Bring your checkbook, we’re going over to the association office,” mumbled my new broker. We walked across the street to the local Realtor association office. I was about to become a Realtor. At that time, like many people, I equated the word “Realtor” with “real estate sales agent.” I knew nothing about NAR, local or state associations, what they did, or why I was joining them.
