As a reminder, the requirements to use the GAR Forms have changed and only REALTORS® members will be allowed to continue using the forms at no cost. In order to access the GAR Forms as a member for FREE, you must enter your National REALTOR® Database System ID (NRDS #) to confirm your REALTOR® membership.

If you do not already know your NRDS #, you may access your NRDS number at https://reg.realtor.org/roreg.nsf/retrieveID?OpenForm.

RPR will provide NAR’s REALTOR® members access to a national database of robust information which will give REALTORS® the greatest access to nationwide property information needed to best serve their clients and customers. RPR is a parcel centric system which will aggregate all available data sets and attach them to a property, including tax assessment and public record information, notice of default, REO, foreclosure and pre-foreclosure data, MLS/CIE-provided information, zoning, liens, permits, school districts, flood plain maps, demographics and much more.

On occasion there is need to clarify the use of a legal term or review a license law as it relates to a specific situation. Sometimes there is no clear right or wrong answer and the advice of legal counsel is necessary. However there are times when a specific reference to a license law or other law may set the record straight and resolve a confusing situation.
