NAR Member Benefits

Ever wonder where your NAR dues go and just what exactly they get you?

The answer is a lot. As an NAR member, you receive incredible business benefits, as well as the support and guidance of more than one million other real estate professionals and world-class staff, all focused on helping you succeed.

NAR makes sure that your membership dollars work for you in many ways, particularly in the following key areas:

  • Advocating for issues that matter to REALTORS(r)
  • Economic and market research
  • Helping REALTORS(r) understand their industry and improve their business
  • Helping the public understand the value of working with a REALTOR(r)
  • Supporting REALTORS at the state and local level

Not one penny of members’ dues goes to the leadership and governance of NAR. All dues go to advocacy and programs, products and services.
