I’ve been a REALTOR® for over two decades. I’ve seen market ups and market downs.
So why do I love being a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®? Why do I keep doing what I’m doing?
The reasons are simple and awesome. NAR fights for my business. NAR just helped get the closing deadline on the homebuyer tax credit extended as well as helped get the National Flood Insurance Program renewed. Pretty impressive.
Furthermore, NAR provides members with top-notch resources and networking and educational opportunities that I can’t get anywhere else. Every REALTOR® is also held to a strict Code of Ethics that keeps us at the top of our profession. I can’t beat that.
On a personal level, I don’t look at what I do as just selling homes in Texas. I work with people to help them build the lifestyle they want. I help them make decisions that will change their lives for the better.
Houses aren’t just products to me. They are the four walls that hold the people and the memories we love the most. Houses are where we build our lives, entertain our friends, and care for our families.
For 24 years, I’ve helped people make life-changing decisions about where to live. In turn, it’s changed my own life. That’s why I love being a REALTOR® and exactly why REALTORS® truly are The Heart of the Market!

At NAR, we’re working on an enormous amount of initiatives to put REALTORS® On the Rise in 2010. In fact, you could say that members are the heart of everything we do. I guess that’s just another reason why I’m proud to be a member of NAR. – Brooke Hunt, 2010 Vice President and Liaison to Committees
