Who belongs to the National Association of Realtors?

• A. Lenders, Appraisers, Inspectors
• B. Property managers
• C. Brokers, Residential Sales Agents
• D. Property managers, Brokers, Residential Sales Agents

Answer: (D)

Membership in the National Association of Realtors goes to licensed real estate professionals who actively work in real estate transactions and join a local Realtor association. This includes brokers and residential sales agents, who are the core licensees handling buying and selling deals. Property managers can also be Realtors if they hold an active real estate license and become members of their local board, since they operate within the real estate field and adhere to the association’s ethics framework. Lenders, appraisers, and inspectors aren’t automatically Realtors unless they hold real estate licenses and join a Realtor association. So the group that fits all the typical paths to NAR membership is property managers, brokers, and residential sales agents.
