The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and its affiliated Institutes, Societies, and Councils provide a wide-range of programs and services that assist members in increasing skills, proficiency, and knowledge. Designations and certifications acknowledging experience and expertise in various real estate sectors are awarded by NAR and each affiliated group upon completion of required courses.

Annually, MTAR celebrates the leaders in our associations by honoring those members who have accepted the challenge and acheived nationally recognized designations and certificates, and proven that they are indeed leaders in the REALTORS® world. 
For more information on MTAR's recognition of designations and certificates, see the Annual Hall of Fame and Designation page.

Among the latest designations and certificates are the NAR GREEN designation, the At Home With Diversity certification
and the Short Sales and Foreclosures Certification.
