The True Power of NAR (and Everything They Do for Agents) w/ Colin Mullane | Episode 90

Real Producers

The US real estate industry is unlike any other in the whole world. The speed of the transaction, the number of times people move and the solutions that drive homeownership…these are all opportunities that don't really don’t exist anywhere else.

A lot of those opportunities are possible because of the National Association of Realtors. With 1.5 million+ members, NAR has a strong voice on the national stage, and the association has used its considerable influence to drive real value to both the agent community and the consumer.

NAR is at the forefront of creating more opportunities for success, doing work agents might not even be aware of.

What are some of the solutions NAR has advocated for? How does the association provide value to consumers and agents?

In this episode, I’m joined by broker-owner and NAR VP candidate, Colin Mullane. He shares all the work the association is doing, and how the leaders drive value.

NAR isn’t saying they can make us more successful, they are saying the opportunity exists because they provide a platform to transfer real estate in an expedited manner. -Colin Mullane
