RPR is the National Association of REALTORS® exclusive online real estate library. With this new resource you will have unparalleled access to data that will give you a competitive edge with your clients. At its base are over 147 million property records, built from public record and assessment information. Then layers of data have been added such as zoning, permits, and mortgage and lien data. And most importantly we have enhanced the datasets by integrating AAABoR data to create the most robust catalog of properties ever assembled.

There are two key differences between RPR and national real estate websites you or your clients may have used. First, RPR is available exclusively to REALTORS®. Second, it offers reports and analytical tools that help you turn a mountain of data into genuine market insight. That's why we're bringing RPR to you.

Talking to Home Buyers About Flood Risk and Flood

Floods can happen anywhere. They are not limited to coastal areas or to devastating tropical storms. Flooding can be caused by heavy rains, melting snow, inadequate drainage systems, or failed flood control structures such as levees and dams. In fact, floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. and most homeowners insurance does not cover damage it causes.

As a Realtor^®, potential home buyers rely on you to help them understand the oftentimes confusing home buying process and protect their financial investment. Flood risk and flood insurance are important topics that home buyers should be aware of.
