    While our accomplishments in 2012 are as varied as the one million members

    we serve, our story and mission are clear and direct. The National Association

    o REALTORS works to ensure the success o its members through the

    advancement and protection o homeownership and real estate investment.

    It was time or the Annual Report to reect the bold, orward-thinking

    dynamic o the association itsel and the members we serve so proudly. We

    hope you enjoy the new look.

    NAR achieved so much in 2012, but one event clearly defned the year,

    the REALTOR Rally to Protect the American Dream o Homeownership.

    For the frst time in the 105-year history o the Association, thousands o

    REALTORS gathered beneath the towering Washington Monument and

    became one nation, a rally nation dedicated to protecting the promise o

    homeownership. Now, that historic moment is commemorated as the theme

    o this Annual Report.

    O course, our accomplishments did not stop when the rally ended. The long-

    sought fve-year reauthorization o the National Flood Insurance Program

    became law in June, bringing certainty to real estate transactions across the

    country. NAR also pressed or legislation to ensure aordable homes or

    our nations veterans and encourage oreign investment in real estate, which

    were signed into law.

    As part o the overall deal on the budgetary fscal cli, mortgage cancellation

    relie was extended, itemized tax deduction limitations were repealed, cost

    recovery or leasehold improvements was renewed, and capital gain on a

    principal residence was protected. Members understood the signifcance o

    this legislation by sending a record number o letters to Capitol Hill urging

    Congress to Do No Harm to housing.

    D A L E S T I N T O N N A R C E OM O E V E I S S I 2 0 1 2 N A R P R E S I D E N T

    The REALTOR Party powered NARs advocacy eorts with one o its critical

    components, the REALTORS Political Action Committee, raising more than

    $7 million to support candidates at the local, state and ederal level.

    We also sought to harness the power o 75 million homeowners with new

    technology and connect with consumers through our national advertising

    campaign that continues to be among the most popular o NARs programs.

    Defning our industry played a critical role or NAR throughout the year

    with our cutting-edge research examining real estates broad reach or

    our members, our communities and our national economy. In 2012, NAR

    Research conducted profles o home buyers and sellers, members and

    international buyers.

    NAR worked tirelessly to ensure that our members enjoy many o the

    business advantages o being a REALTOR. In 2012, NAR oered a wide

    array o benefts, business tools, educational opportunities and discount

    programs to promote member success. We joined with several new partners,

    including Sprint, Xceligent and Chrysler, to provide unparalleled benefts that

    ar surpass those o comparable associations.

    Through all these means and more, NAR met this years goals o protecting

    the interests o REALTORS and homeowners; along with the value ohomeownership, commercial real estate and private property rights.

    Thank you or everything you do on behal o NAR and the real estate industry.

    Its because o you that REALTORS are the Heart o the Deal!
