Real Estate Companies Should Address Website Accessibility to Avoid Lawsuits The business of real estate has become increasingly digital, and agents and consumers rely on websites to share and find real estate information, market homes and conduct property searches.

Workforce housing focuses on expanding housing opportunities for America's working families. In many communities, the people that provide vital services-teachers, firefighters, police officers, and laundry and restaurant workers-often cannot themselves afford to live there. Additionally, as home costs continue to outpace wages, many families can no longer afford homes near their workplaces while many local communities lack homes affordable to local workers.  learn more>> 


NAR has a wonderful resource, called the Realtor® Content Resource provides hundreds of authoritative articles about all aspects of homeownership. Great for use in brochures, ads, and mailers, the articles are easy to adapt to individual branding.
