About Arkansas Association of Realtist, Inc.
Rooted in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Arkansas Association of Realtist (AAR) is dedicated to restoring hope and confidence in homeownership as a vehicle for building generational wealth within African-American and minority communities. As a local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), an African-American trade group, AAR carries a special mission to ensure that predominantly African-American and other minority communities receive fair treatment in land use and urban planning decisions. Many Realtist members live in the communities they serve, creating a deep personal commitment to preserving and restoring neighborhoods where homebuyers can build lasting equity.
The organization's work extends far beyond real estate transactions. AAR actively supports the Little Rock community through multiple initiatives, including offering scholarships to college-bound students, hosting home-buyer education workshops, coordinating fair housing events, and sponsoring charitable programs for deserving children. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, AAR welcomes community support through financial donations, volunteer participation, and in-kind contributions of space for workshops and events.
What sets AAR apart is its holistic approach to homeownership. The organization recognizes that sustainable homeownership requires more than finding a property—it demands access to qualified appraisers, financial services professionals, housing counselors, and mortgage brokers working in concert. By fostering this collaborative network in the Little Rock region and across Arkansas, AAR empowers families to achieve homeownership while strengthening their communities for future generations.
