NAR’s Community & Political Affairs division offers three classes to help you improve your community and your business. The class offerings include: Employer-Assisted Housing, Expanding Housing opportunities, and Smart Growth.

The class sessions are held by authorized state and local associations, and they are also offered each year at two of NAR’s national meetings: the Midyear Meetings & Trade Expo (held each spring) and the REALTORS® Conference & Expo (held each fall).

Learn more about the course details and how to sign-up below.

Expanding Housing Opportunities (EHO)

This course is designed to increase participants’ understanding of how affordability bolsters the housing market, engages clients, and builds business as well as the community. Students will learn to better leverage partnerships and resources to expand housing opportunities.

This course is designed to help REALTORS® understand the concept of smart growth and some of the economic and demographic drivers that make homebuyers in particular age cohorts particularly interested in communities with developed with smart growth characteristics.
