What National Association of Realtors does
Mission
The National Association of Realtors represents realtors and nar's institutes, societies, and councils involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. Our membership is composed of residential and commercial brokers, salespeople, property managers, appraisers, counselors, and others engaged in the real estate industry. Members belong to one or more local associations/boards and state and territory associations of realtors. Nar empowers realtors by helping them thrive in their businesses. It achieves this goal by advocating on their behalf, providing market intelligence and research tools, offering professional development and education, maintaining high standards, mitigating legal risk, and elevating the realtor brand. By supporting realtors, nar protects and advances the right of americans to own real estate.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The National Association of REALTORS provides professional development through tailored educational offerings, proprietary technology and research to its members, the public and government for the purpose of fostering fair, competitive, and transparent real estate markets and preserving the right to own real property.
NAR members abide by a strict Code of Ethics that ensures clients' best interests are served. This promotes high standards of conduct in the transaction of real estate business and requires REALTORS to cooperate with each other on behalf of their clients. Leveraging the voice of our members, NAR's consumer advertising campaign is designed to promote awareness of the REALTOR brand nationally and the value of a REALTOR to a consumer audience through a variety of strategic external marketing initiatives and channels.
A broad-based perspective on the value of real property ownership and the impact on families, communities and the economy informs NAR's advocacy work. Accordingly, NAR supports public policy issues that enhance housing affordability and increase access to homeowenership for people of all backgrounds and income levels. The association's websites host tools and resources for members to best counsel home buyers and sellers, feature information about the value of property ownership, consumer guides that allow consumers to do their own research, and portals that help buyers and sellers find agents who are REALTORS.
As a member-led organization, NAR conducts local and national meetings where members participate in the governance of the association and learn about real estate best practices, trends and new tools and strategies. In addition to the educational content, NAR conferences provide opportunities for members to network with agents from across the country. Each year NAR holds a midyear meeting and a national conference.
NAR offers professional education programs to keep members ahead of an evolving market and enhance leadership skills. NAR holds several online educational sessions and webinars throughout the year to help members get to, and execute, their next transaction by enhancing their businesses and growing their client bases.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $489M to $697M (+42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Left out of every figure on this page: $1.2M from 19 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Center for REALTOR Development Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money National Association of Realtors raised.
From the IRS filings of National Association of Realtors’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
National Association of Realtors leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund National Association of Realtors.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
