Created to support REALTORS® through difficult times, Right Tools, Right Now (RTRN) is now a permanent program of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and a significant member benefit. Each month, RTRN provides members the opportunity to save on products, services and resources that are carefully vetted to provide value for agents and their businesses. All RTRN offerings are available to members for free or at a substantial discount.
“The Right Tools, Right Now program underscores our commitment to put members first,” says NAR CEO Bob Goldberg. “Activated in 2009 in response to the housing crisis, and relaunched in 2020 to support members through the pandemic, RTRN is now a permanent initiative to provide essential and timely tools, helping members proactively prepare for strategic growth in every economic climate.”
