Founded in 2024 by Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky, the American Real Estate Association is a new voice for residential real estate professionals.
ARA exists to unite, elevate, and support the agents and brokers doing this work every day. That means advocacy that carries weight, resources members can use, and a community where people share what they know.
“Through this incredible journey, I believe it is important to give back and do better, especially for an industry that has given so much to me. As we forge ahead, I am committed to positive advancement not just for The Agency but for our entire industry.”
-Mauricio Umansky
The people above committed to ten years as Founding Members. They didn't just join. They decided they were with us, and with their fellow agents, for the long haul. They did it early, when this was still taking shape and the only thing on offer was the idea.
Everything ARA builds from here rests on that.
Advocating. Innovating. Educating.
