In a recent interview with NAR President Kevin Sears, BAM gets real estate agents talking—but it’s not the typical commentary you might expect. This interview is a must-watch for all industry professionals, regardless of their NAR stance.

In an unfiltered interview with BAM co-founder Byron Lazine, NAR President Kevin Sears discussed hot-button topics including NAR’s budget, the recent settlement, and the future of the association.

In a podcast with Jared James, NAR President Kevin Sears answered some of the biggest questions from NAR members, including why NAR settlement, why some brokerages were left out of the deal, VA buyers and NAR dues.

Tracy Kasper, president of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced her resignation today, effective immediately, in response to a threat she received to disclose a personal matter. President-elect Kevin Sears is stepping into the role.

Tracy Kasper, president of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) posted a video on November 7th addressing the Sitzer/Burnett verdict, what it means for real estate agents, and what Realtors should tell clients who ask about the verdict or lawsuits.
