Fair Housing Champion Award

Congratulations to NAR’s 2025 Fair Housing Champion Award Recipients

The National Association of REALTORS® Fair Housing Champion Award honors REALTORS® who advance fair housing and expand homeownership in their communities.

The Award, which is sponsored by realtor.com, provides a $5,000 prize that winners can dedicate to a housing-related nonprofit organization of their choice.

Fair Housing Champions are being the change in their businesses and communities. They are committed to their communities, leading change and educating others on how to confront discrimination in the home-buying process.

Being the Change Series

In 2021, as part of its ACT! Fair Housing Initiative, NAR began profiling REALTOR® fair housing leaders who are “being the change” in their businesses and communities. These video profiles continued into 2022 and with the partnership of realtor.com, became the Fair Housing Champion Award.
