In 1980, President Ronald Reagan publicly acknowledged the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB®) and its proud members “Realtist” for their high standards of leadership and professional-ism, he instituted this week in American history as “Realtist Week”.

Each year we take this time to internalize. It is also a time when we make a concentrated effort to strengthen our public image as trustworthy industry professionals and engage the public as a whole. Its your opportunity as Realtist® members to educate, inform, mentor, fellowship and invite others to join NAREB® and become part of the oldest minority real estate trade association in America.

Its time to PUSH IT! Push Fellowship. Push

Mentorship. Push Partner-ships. Push Legislation. Push Membership. Push Political Action and Push The Right To Vote! Show your pride in NAREB®, its members and the value that it brings to communi-ties and homeowners across the Nation.

“We fought for the right to fair housing in America and now it’s up to you to help preserve it,” says Cheryl Dixon.

Read, review and act on the PUSH PLAN of action that we’ve provided on the following pages.

Being a Realtist® means more than just being a real estate agent it means being an asset to your community and an example to aspiring real estate professionals.
