Listen "42. What is NAR and why do they matter?"
Episode Synopsis
Our Spring Market is loaded with inventory, fewer buyers, buyers going after the same homes, and a sluggish market under 500k in Rossmoor. To learn more about our current East Bay Real Estate market, what factors are driving it, listen to today’s podcast. And then we zoom out to explore how the entire real estate industry is structured. What is the NAR (National Association of Realtors) and why do they matter? To explain the NAR we need to examine the CAR (California Association of Realtors) and the CCAR (Contra Costa Association of Realtors). In today’s podcast, we’re breaking down a big question: Who runs real estate and governs the way we work? Get to know the roles of NAR, CAR, and CCAR– from contracts to compliance. We’re lucky to live and work in California, which is on the leading edge of real estate! Adam Hamalian and Sherry Hutchens are real estate brokers (REALTORS) working in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
