The Association Built for the Future of Real Estate.
A national movement of agents, brokers, and firms building a stronger industry.
Meet The Founders
Founded in 2024 by Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky, The American Real Estate Association is a new, powerful voice for residential real estate professionals. We are dedicated to uniting, elevating, and empowering agents and brokers to succeed in an ever-evolving industry. Our members share a commitment to professionalism, innovation, and advocacy that helps shape the future of real estate.
About Us
A New Trade Organization
ARA is a trade association built by real estate agents, for real estate agents. We started it around a simple idea: the people doing this work every day are the ones best positioned to move it forward.
Trade Up
Trading up means raising the standards we hold ourselves to and with them, the standing our profession holds with the public. That’s not something any one agent can do alone.
What We're Building
A national voice on policy. Resources you can put to work. A community that connects agents in every market.
Why Become a Member?
Membership is how this gets built. Your dues fund the advocacy, the resources, and the events, and they give you a say in what we take on first. Dues are introductory for 2026, starting at $20 for the year.

We're here.
The American Real Estate Association was created to ensure that those who know the industry best -its agents- are the ones directing its future. In this time of unprecedented change, your voices must be amplified, your experiences valued, and your needs addressed. We are dedicated to empowering every agent to not just adapt but to lead the way forward. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or comments.
