National Association of Realtors (NAR) Lifts Standards In Industry

The National Association of Realtors is the largest real estate trade association in the USA involved in all aspects of the commercial and residential real estate. The National Association of Realtors membership includes: real estate agents, real estate brokers, salespeople, appraisers, property managers, counselors and others involved in the real estate industry.

There is a strict code of ethics for industry members. For real estate agents, membership of The National Association of Realtors is recognized throughout the industry by other real estate agents and by clients.

If an agent belongs to the NAR he or she is able to add the term 'Realtor' to their name. This indicates that the agent has met NAR's ethical and educational requirements. The NAR and its 'boards' or local chapters offer educational courses and materials to help NAR members increase their knowledge and professionalism.
