Why Join BAR?
The Birmingham Association of REALTORS® (BAR) has Real solutions to drive your practice to Real Success.
So just what is the BAR advantage? We are an influential voice in local, governmental, and community affairs. As we are the largest local REALTOR® organization, we have the resources to staff our government affairs department fully. Our trained and professional staff representatives regularly meet and discuss pressing issues with our local legislators, ensuring the REALTOR® Voice is heard on local issues such as occupancy tax, signage rules, historic tax credits, water and utility legislation, economic growth tariffs, just to name a few. Our community affairs division works on issues that affect your business practices, such as awareness of fair housing legislation, revitalization programs such as the land bank, coordinating Habitat for Humanity Builds, but most importantly, raising community awareness of the value REALTORS® bring to the community and the real estate transaction.
