NAR LAUNCHES “THAT’S WHO WE R®” New ad campaign promotes REALTORS® as advocates and advisers. While many people know that a REALTOR® helps buy and sell homes, they may not know that only a REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and subscribes to its Code of Ethics. It’s the REALTOR® Code of Ethics that inspired the association’s new “That’s Who We R®” campaign. The campaign aims to reinforce REALTORS® as advocates for property owners, engaged community members and trusted advisers with in-depth knowledge of the industry. “That’s Who We R®” reinforces that partnering with a REALTOR® delivers the peace of mind that can only come from working with a real person who is committed to their clients’ futures and neighborhoods just as much as they are. “That’s Who We R®” serves as a reminder of what NAR has always stood for, while signaling where the organization is heading. For REALTORS®, the campaign is a rallying cry that instills pride in their everyday actions. For consumers, it’s an education about the REALTOR® difference. Share your story! The “That’s Who We R®” campaign shines a spotlight on REALTORS®, and ‘R Stories’ gives you another way to get involved! Learn more at T hatsWhoWeR.realtor.
NAR Commercial Services Accreditation The Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association’s REALTORS® Commercial Alliance (RCA) received a 5-star Commercial Services Accreditation from the National Association of REALTORS®. Association Executive Michael Barr accepted the award at AE Institute this spring. To earn the Commercial Services Accreditation, an association must achieve the minimum twenty (20) required benchmarks, and each additional benchmark earns you additional points. GRRA earned 60 total points for the 5-star rating. Congratulations! IMPACT
