The National Association of REALTORS® has appointed Jarrod Grasso, RCE, CEO of NJ REALTORS®, as its senior vice president of industry relations.
Starting in March, Grasso will lead NAR’s efforts to enhance engagement with state and local associations.
“Investing in dedicated resources to facilitate state and local relations is critical to ensure we’re hearing real-time feedback about challenges leaders face so they can be addressed quickly,” says NAR CEO Nykia Wright. “Jarrod’s extraordinary reputation across the industry and with our national, state and local associations makes him the perfect fit for this position.”
Grasso spent more than two decades at NJ REALTORS®; before becoming CEO, he served as chief lobbyist and vice president of government affairs for the organization.
“I look forward to working alongside my association colleagues, our members and other industry partners to demonstrate how, together, we can create meaningful solutions for REALTORS®,” Grasso says. “By fostering strong relationships and addressing critical industry priorities, we can help members remain indispensable.”
Among his many achievements, Grasso was inducted into the Association Executives Committee’s Dr. Almon R. “Bud” Smith Leadership Society in 2013; he also won the William R. Magel Award of Excellence in 2020 and the REALTOR® Association Certified Executive designation in 2006.
