Fostering Inclusivity in Real Estate
In the ever-evolving world of real estate, NCJAR takes pride in embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity within the industry. As a responsible and forward-thinking organization, we recognize the importance of Transgender Awareness Week, a time to spotlight and support the transgender community. In this blog, we'll delve into the significance of Transgender Awareness Week, explore the challenges transgender individuals face in the real estate industry, and discuss how NCJAR can work towards a more inclusive future.
Transgender Awareness Week is a crucial time dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges and discrimination faced by transgender individuals. It is observed annually from November 13th to November 19th, leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance. During this week, we not only celebrate the transgender community's resilience but also focus on promoting acceptance, understanding, and advocacy.
Real estate is all about creating spaces where people can live, work, and thrive. It's essential that everyone, regardless of their gender identity, feels comfortable and welcomed in the real estate industry. Achieving inclusivity is not only about doing what is right but also about fostering a healthy and diverse work environment and serving clients to the best of our ability.

We wanted to bring you up to speed on the recent developments in the Burnett v. NAR, et al. case, where a Missouri jury has reached a verdict. Here are some insights and resources that may prove helpful in navigating the current landscape:
1. Ongoing Legal Proceedings:
The legal proceedings continue, as the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and the named defendants, despite not prevailing at the district court level, are pursuing an appeal. NAR maintains confidence in a robust legal foundation for this appeal.
2. Business Continuity:
For your business, it remains 'business as usual.' New Jersey, among approximately 13 other states, already incorporates buyer agency into its legal framework. The NJR Forms library, including the Buyer Agency Agreement, ensures transparency and formalizes your professional relationships. Resources are available to help articulate your value as a buyer’s agent.
3. Maintaining Professional Composure:
While acknowledging the disappointment that may accompany the verdict, it is imperative to maintain professional composure. Equipping yourself with the facts will enable you to effectively communicate the substantial value you bring to real estate transactions, fostering understanding with your clients.
