In 2011, the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — ICANN — approved expansion of new generic, top-level domains, besides just the common ones like .com and .net currently available.
NAR sought to provide its members a chance to link their names and brand with the .REALTOR domain. In other words, your home on the Internet can become “JohnSmith.REALTOR” instead of just “JohnSmith.com.”
“.REALTOR creates a name space for REALTORS® on the Internet,” according to NAR. “It allows you and your agents to be instantly branded as real estate experts consumers can trust.”
The .REALTOR domains will be available starting at $39.95 per year, with multiyear and multidomain discounts available. Brokers and agents in the United States will also receive a free realtor.com® profile website that can be customized to promote your listings, social media, client recommendations, and more.
