How it began
Real estate specialists were underrepresented in the National Association of Real Estate Boards (now known as National Association of REALTORS® or NAR) even if the industrial real estate had started on an ascending trend during the Second World War. The limited representation motivated two industrial realtors, David T. Houston and Frank G. Binswanger, to organize realtors’ efforts throughout the US and Canada. The organization was founded and approved as a national body of industrial realtors in 1940.
The organization became essential to the war effort as they located available spaces to produce defenses and war materials. Over 200 real estate brokers were looking at facilities that the defense could use for defense purposes through the US and Canada; then, they reported their findings to the War Department.
