If you follow the news, you may think of the National Association of Realtors as being a hotbed of sex crimes, expense-account embezzlement scams and uncanny legal ineptitude. But before all that, the NAR is and has been since its inception one of America’s best enemies of the everyday human liberty this country was founded to protect.

The NAR is the reason not just for the real estate broker’s license but for every occupational license. Until the NAR, you did not have to beg permission from the state to earn a living.

That much is awful, but blame the state and its courts. But by making itself the source of the legislation, the NAR has made war on the rights of private property owners since it began. There is good reason to hate every bit of the progressive political movement in the early Twentieth Century, and the NAR had its greasy fingers in everything \u2013 and in every anti-economic crime since then.

Closer to home, where my own ox is gored, brokers in Phoenix are just that<\/em> close to being rid of the NAR. Since 1994, it has been completely NAR-rules-complaint for local associations and MLS systems to offer MLS-only access to brokers who wanted it. Who did? New-home builders, mostly, who wanted to list into the MLS but not shop into it.

I looked into this in 2020, when the NAR launched its speech code \u2013 they snuffed a broker with it last month \u2013 but the cost was prohibitive then and the forms used in Arizona are published by the AAR \u2013 that is to say, by the NAR.

So since 1994, while it has been possible for metro-Phoenix residential resale brokers to break free of the NAR while retaining the MLS, it has not been practical. By way of the AAR forms, the NAR was able to use MLS-access as golden handcuffs on residential real estate brokers.
