Join us for REALTOR® Day at the Capitol in conjunction with a legislative reception and ARA's annual February meetings!

February 10-11, 2025

Little Rock, Arkansas

You can now purchase 2025 forms online through the link on the ARA website or the button above. Each licensed office must purchase separately. All agents within the office that are licensed through AREC will be included in the cost of forms. There will be no exceptions. Consider turning inactive licensees into AREC early to avoid this potential extra cost.

On Tuesday, November 26, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri granted final approval of NAR's settlement in the Sitzer/Burnett case. ARA continues to monitor new developments, but in terms of the settlement practice changes that went into effect on August 17, nothing has changed. Please rest assured we will update our members as new information becomes available.

Keep an eye out for ARA's

new campaign: the Arkansas Approach! These materials are designed to help guide agents and the public through the settlement. Some materials are already online, and there's more to come.

2024 ARA President Jennifer Welch recently filmed an educational video for members covering how to approach offers of compensation and documentation for such in this novel real estate environment.

This video series by NAR breaks down new regulations resulting from the settlement and how brokers are impacted.
