NAR Releases First Quarterly Update to Strategic Plan

WASHINGTON (April 21, 2026) - The National Association of REALTORS® today released its first quarterly update on the 2026-2028 Strategic Plan, highlighting early progress and reinforcing its commitment to execution, transparency, and delivering tangible member value.

In the first quarter of implementation, the association initiated two-thirds of the plan's projects. Early successes centered on affordable housing, the REALTOR® brand, and broker relationships. Each project directly corresponds to the association's research into what members need.

"This plan was built for action," said Nykia Wright, CEO of the National Association of REALTORS®. "Rebuilding trust requires more than words-it requires visible progress. That's why we're committed to sharing clear, regular updates that show members how this work is making a real difference."

Additional work across education, corporate partnerships, MLS relationships and governance reflects NAR's commitment to modernize the association. The projects were informed by REALTOR® members through committee involvement, focus groups and other feedback mechanisms.

"Members are actively shaping this work," said Kevin Brown, NAR President. "From education to governance to housing supply, REALTORS® are directly influencing the decisions and work that matter most to the industry."

Looking ahead to Q2, NAR will continue enhancing its education platforms, advancing advocacy efforts and deepening collaboration with state and local associations and MLS partners to drive informed, member-driven decisions.
