"But while his time in office has been far from easy, steering the 100+ year-old trade organization through settling the commission lawsuits, implementing business practice changes and a myriad of other challenges, including the current affordability crisis, he is grateful for his time as NAR president. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sears told attendees of NAR's 2025 NXT conference in Houston, Texas, Friday morning."
"Since January of 2025, Sears said he has spent 258 days on the road, traveled 162,000 miles, and met with approximately 37,700 NAR members. Much of this time was spent listening to members and making sure that NAR and its leaders were prepared to take advantage of any upcoming opportunities that presented themselves. I've received a lot of feedback over the last couple of years trust me, a lot."
