The National Association of Realtors® announced this week that on October 23, 2014 Realtors® can begin to claim a .REALTOR domain. With nine out of 10 recent buyers beginning their home search online, it has become even more critical for Realtors® to create a branded space online.
The .REALTOR domain will help Realtors® stand apart from other real estate professionals, creating a more positive online experience for consumers who are searching for information on buying or selling property. Having a .REALTOR domain will inform consumers that they are working with a Realtor®, a trusted real estate professional who subscribes to NAR’s strict Code of Ethics.
