WASHINGTON, DC - September 4, 2009 - (RealEstateRama) — Realtors® spent more than $800 million on technology products and services last year, according to the National Association of Realtors® Member Profile. By partnering with HP under the REALTOR Benefits® Program, NAR can now offer Realtors® access to special offers and savings on the products they need to help today’s home buyers, sellers and real estate investors.

“Realtors® are industry innovators, and staying on top of the latest technology tools is very important in our profession,” said NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth. “NAR’s new partnership with HP will help our members obtain technologies and solutions that allow them to best serve their clients.”

Through the program, HP offers Realtors® access to a customized Web site where they can take advantage of special pricing on HP business products such as printers, desktops, mobile PCs, scanners, storage, networking products, and more. Realtors® will receive free U.S. ground shipping, dedicated telesales representatives for consultation and orders, and product training, as well as special, limited-time offers over and above the everyday NAR member savings. The program is available to Realtors®; association staff at the local, state and national level; and their immediate family members.

“These new offers from HP bring tremendous value to Realtors®,” said Bob Goldberg, NAR senior vice president of marketing, business development, and commercial services. “This new partnership is just one more way NAR is working to provide value for its members in today’s challenging economic environment.”

To take full advantage of the offers available through the program, visit hp.com/go/nar1 or call 800/888-8177 and mention NAR1.

NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program offers practical solutions for Realtors® on the products and services they use every day. The program includes offerings from nearly 30 companies, in a variety of categories, recognized as leaders in their respective industries.

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
