1. NAR - Setting the Record Straight on the American Property Owners Alliance
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) released an article this past Tuesday, December 10th providing the facts on the nonprofit, nonpartisan American Property Owners Alliance (APOA) after an article in The New York Times mischaracterized APOA, an organization that receives NAR funding.
NAR has stated that the portrayal of APOA is not only biased but, at times, factually incorrect. “In advance of this article, we provided detailed answers and extensive context to improve [the reporter’s] understanding of the advocacy universe and the amazing work our advocacy team does to support the real estate industry, empower REALTORS® and advance the right to real property for all,” says NAR President Kevin Sears.
Check out the NAR article Setting the Record Straight on APOA stating how NAR says The New York Times reporting misses the mark.
