‘The premier authority for real estate in the Northern Shenandoah Valley.’

Admitted to the Virginia Association of REALTORS® as Members-at-Large in 1941, the Blue Ridge Association of REALTORS®, Inc. (BRAR), was chartered by the National Association of REALTORS® on March 20, 1961 by 19 real estate professionals with the goal of adopting a standard Code of Ethics and providing better service to the public.  On May 9, 1961, the NAR Board of Directors approves Blue Ridge as a member board.  On November 12, 1963 our name changed to Blue Ridge Board of REALTORS® and then on November 16, 1977 it was changed to Blue Ridge Board of REALTORS®, Inc., and finally on November 4, 1992, it was changed to Blue Ridge Association of REALTORS, Inc.  Since that time, the organization has grown to 78 brokerage firms and 585 REALTOR® members.  We have grown with the community and the nation.
