The National Brand with a Dedicated YOU-First Focus Gives 
Agents an Alternate to National Association of REALTORS(R) Membership

PHOENIX, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty ONE Group International, a modern, purpose-driven lifestyle brand and ONE of the fastest-growing franchisors in the world, has created a program through which Phoenix, AZ, real estate professionals can choose to affiliate with the National Association of REALTORS(R), (NAR), or to operate independently of the U.S. trade organization.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, real estate professionals with Realty ONE Group's eight metro locations can elect to remain with NAR or they can disassociate and join Realty ONE Group AZ, a newly-established subsidiary of Realty ONE Group, Inc. Those who disassociate will still have all the tech, tools and benefits provided by Realty ONE Group and can then select a new option like MLS Choice, which is a membership type provided by Phoenix REALTORS^® that does not require a NAR membership.

"Choice and opportunity will always be number ONE for us because the real estate professional is the center of their business, and the center of ours," said Kuba Jewgieniew, CEO and Founder of Realty ONE Group International. "Our mantra, EveryONE matters and everyONE has a voice is more important today than ever as our pros make critical decisions for their careers."

"We want our agents to have a choice and know they always have a home with us whether or not they choose to affiliate with NAR," said Pat Kelly, President of Brokerage Operations for Realty ONE Group.

Realty ONE Group International claimed the No. 1 spot for real estate franchisors for the third year in a row on Entrepreneur's highly competitive 2024 Franchise 500^® list. The only modern, lifestyle brand in the industry now has more than 20,000 real estate professionals in more than 450 locations in 49 U.S. states, Washington D.C. and 22 more countries and territories.
