The National Association of REALTORS® named Nykia Wright as its permanent chief executive, the large trade organization said Monday.
Wright joined NAR as interim CEO in November to shepherd the organization through several crises.
"We understand that there is significant change and anxiety afoot, and we are committed to making sure that people understand how to get to their next successful deal," she said. "That's just going to require a lot of work and education on our part."
"Having somebody from the outside who could bring in fresh thoughts and ideas to our association, ultimately I think was a great move," said Kevin Sears, NAR's president, in an interview. "She's a no-nonsense leader."
