ABOUT NAREB DALLAS
Reimagining the Dream of Homeownership through Advocacy, Activism, and Action
The Dallas Association of Realtists® (DAR)—formerly known as the Dallas Association of Real Estate Brokers (DAREB)—was founded in 1956 in Dallas, Texas by visionary leaders whose wisdom, foresight, and determination helped shape the organization’s foundation.
For decades, DAR has played a vital role in advocating for fair and equal housing opportunities, while working to ensure that communities have access to quality housing and the resources needed to achieve sustainable homeownership.
