Do Your Research - Don't Get Scammed!

If you receive an email referral from an out of state agent that you don't know, you should always verify their identity. Go to realtor.com and click "Find REALTORS®" at the top of the page. Pull up the agent by name, then click "email" to verify that they sent you the referral email, ensuring you will not fall victim to a scam.

 

Housing Needed for Tornado Victims

In order to assist tornado victims who are displaced due to damages to their homes, we are asking that you send us available units for lease. Please send along with the address and location of the property, rental price, your contact info and the shortest term that you will accept on a lease. Some are in need to rent short term as they are working on home repairs and may be able to get back in their homes more quickly. Others may need to lease a unit for a longer term. Please submit any units or complexes that are available for rent immediately. We will provide this list to Ellen Lee, Director of Housing Policy and Community Development, City of New Orleans. Thank you for your assistance.  Email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

NAR Changes Ethics Requirements - New 2 Year Cycle (2017-2018)

NAR mandates that Code of Ethics training be completed once per cycle by all its members.  In previous years, those cycles have been 4 years long. The new cycle began January 1, 2017, and is two years long. Therefore, all NAR members must complete Code of Ethics training between January 2017 and December 2018.

NOMAR already has several Code of Ethics classes scheduled throughout 2017, with more to come. You can find classes on NOMAR's online calendar.

Remember - if you take your Code of Ethics training with a provider other than NOMAR, NOMAR does not receive notification of your completion, so please submit your Code of Ethics training certificate from the provider to us as soon as possible. You can fax it to (504) 888-1812 or email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
