An efficient and easy-to-use web-based function, called the Broker Portal, is now available to personalize a message to each agent in the company from the broker requesting their participation in federal Calls for Action (CFA). The Program offers:
- Ease-of-use. NAR writes and sends the message to the broker for the broker's approval. The broker may accept the message as is, or edit it and send it back to NAR. NAR will review the broker's edit then send it to the company agents. (Although this does slow the process down somewhat, at no time would NAR attempt to speak for a broker without that broker's consent!). And finally, the broker has the ability to opt-out on a specific CFA if that broker would be compelled to oppose an NAR position.
- The broker's agents receive a special message from the broker with a pre-written letter to their federal lawmaker(s) ready for their signature.
(Note: NAR has found agents respond far greater to messages from their Broker than most anyone else in the Real Estate community)
- An opportunity to bring a strong and united REALTOR® voice to members of Congress.
- The broker's involvement will strengthen REALTOR® influence in determining outcomes of legislation. For example: the latest Housing legislation that just passed required three Calls For Action, but is meaningful to the health of brokerages, brokers, and agents across the country.
- Key financial support to campaigns for REALTOR® - friendly candidates through RPAC.
Once the broker has signed the enrollment form, NAR staff will contact that broker or the designated contact person to confirm the company agent count, the correct contact info, and request an electronic image of the company logo. After confirming all information, NAR will test the system with each broker and answer any other questions any broker may from time to time have.

On average, NAR sends only 5 to 7 CFA's per year. Each office will be ready for the next Call for Action, and NAR will be heard by Congress in an even louder voice.
If you would like more specifics on how this Program, works please email me and I will gladly explain the functionality of it in more detail, or direct you to the NAR folks who can do an even better job than me, or I. It's a very simple program to employ, THERE IS NO EXPENSE to the Broker, and the program gets great results. We ALL win when we ALL get involved.
This is a great program and has received positive feedback from the Brokers who have enrolled thus far. This Program allows NAR to send the Broker / Owner or Manager a Call for Action that then gets directed to his or her agents with no other effort from the broker than the enrollment form.
The response rates from this program are significantly better than our normal national response rate for Calls for Action.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and Involvement in the REALTOR® Party.
