2021 commemorates the 100 Year Anniversary of the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®.
On July 11, 1921, the National Association of REALTORS® approved the Albuquerque Real Estate Board with a roster of just 20 members. Throughout the years, the Association has undergone several name changes as its geographic boundaries have expanded to include areas in Bernalillo, Valencia, Sandoval, Santa Fe, and Torrance County. Today GAAR is the largest local professional trade association in Central New Mexico with over 4,300 members pledged to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
GAAR has partnered with William A. Dodge, Ph.D., Cultural Historian to memorialize the history of Albuquerque and the role that GAAR REALTORS® played in the development of the community. To understand and appreciate where we are today, we must first look at where Albuquerque began.
