For one weekend in June REALTORS® will hold open houses in neighborhoods from coast to coast, bringing value to both buyers and sellers. The event also provides a tremendous opportunity to promote the benefits of home ownership and continue an open dialogue with consumers about the housing issues that matter most to them.

The Goal?
Invite your clients and any members of the general public to explore their local real estate market. Consumers will be assured that they van cisit the open houses with no pressure to purchase, and that the REALTOR® on duty will be happy to answer their questions about the home buying and selling process.

Reasons to Participate:
♦ Historically low interest rates, plentiful inventory and low prices
♦ An opportunity for one-on-one conversations between the public and REALTORS® regarding the  local market
♦ A venue for REALTORS® to education the public about homeownership, their local community, and what options (buying vs. selling, downsizing, etc) are right for their potential buyers and sellers

♦ Last year's  Nationwide Open House event served as a catalyst for connecting REALTORS® with buyer and seller clients
♦ First-time buyers are especially encouraged to take advantage of this event and speak to a REALTOR® as a first step toward homeownership
To ensure compliance with local zoning ordinances, TAR will not distribute balloons this year.

As you know, whenever the REALTOR® logo is used certain criteria that must be followed. Since the Nationwide Open House (NOH) Logo has the REALTOR® logo incorporated in the graphic NAR's trademark rules apply. If you plan to use the NOH logo, which everyone is encouraged to do, please make sure you are in compliance with all of NAR's trademark guidelines. Specifically note: The REALTOR® logo is supposed to identify a member, a member's real estate business or the name of a member board.

NAR's legal department would like to stress if the NOH logo is used without representation of a member board, member or member's real estate business it would be improper and a misuse. Please make sure a member board's logo or member's name, or member's real estate business name/logo is also included in any advertising piece.

Here are a few examples:
Allowed:
-NOH banner or logo displayed on an association or member's website.
-NOH banner or logo displayed in any marketing piece where it is used in conjunction with the name of a member board, member or member real estate business.

Not Allowed:
-Only the NOH logo used on any marketing piece (without representation of a member board, member, or member's real estate business)
