National Association of Realtors History and Milestones
The National Association of Realtors, founded in 1908 after earlier failed attempts, grew from the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges. It evolved to Real Estate Boards in 1916 and became the National Association of Realtors in 1972. The group promoted ethics, housing standards, tax relief, and property rights while influencing federal policy and mortgage reform. It formed the Realtor term in 1916 and secured key tax and mortgage benefits through decades of advocacy.
