NAR begins search for a new CEO

The search is on for a new face at the helm of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), as the trade group revealed the forthcoming retirement of NAR chief executive Bob Goldberg at the end of 2024.

NAR announced Monday that it has officially launched the nationwide hunt for Goldberg’s successor. The new CEO will lead a staff of roughly 350 employees and will be responsible for goal setting and budget management while executing the priorities and strategic agenda directed by NAR’s board of directors.

According to NAR’s search committee, “qualified candidates will likely have strong experience leading a significant trade association, professional society, or other large and multipart business, with at least 10 years of experience in executive positions. A demonstrated ability to proactively address the trends, challenges and opportunities facing real estate globally will also be emphasized.”

The position is based in NAR’s Chicago and Washington, D.C. locations, and the individual is expected to reside in one of these states and be regularly present in both NAR office buildings. The initial sourcing for the new CEO will be until July 30.
