I’m particularly concerned about the length of time it takes NAR to resolve lawsuits. The organization should be more proactive in settling cases and be more transparent about the status of ongoing litigation.

In this age of rapid change, NAR needs to evolve from being a top-heavy bureaucracy into a more nimble and responsive organization. It needs to be more open to new ideas and be more willing to take risks.

Here are some specific suggestions for NAR:

Settling cases more quickly. NAR should be more willing to settle cases that are dragging on. This would save the organization money and resources, and it would also provide relief to its members who are involved in litigation.
Be more transparent about the status of cases. NAR should create a public website where members can track the status of ongoing lawsuits. This would provide much-needed transparency and would help to build trust with members.
Investing in technology. NAR should invest in technology that can help to automate the litigation process. This would save time and money, and it would also help to ensure that cases are resolved more efficiently.
Being more open to new ideas. NAR should be more open to new ideas and be more willing to experiment with new approaches. This would help the organization to stay ahead of the curve and to better serve its members.
I hope that NAR will take these suggestions to heart and make some real changes to its advocacy efforts. The organization needs to be more transparent, more responsive, and more willing to take risks. Only then will it be able to effectively advocate for the real estate industry in the years to come.
