Why are .realestate domains available to the general public?
Unlike .realtor™ domains, which are exclusive to active members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) or The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), .realestate domains are open to anyone in the real estate industry.
Purpose of .realestate Domains
The .realestate domain was created to give real estate professionals, companies, and related businesses the ability to build a credible online presence without membership restrictions. It provides flexibility while still signaling industry expertise to clients and prospects.
