Manhattan on Track to Get its own NAR Chapter

NEW YORK CITY-After months of settling disputes and playing the waiting game, Cornelia A. Netter, president of Netter Real Estate and vice president of the Manhattan Association of Realtors, tells GlobeSt.com in an exclusive interview that the National Association of Realtors is expected to accept the Manhattan Association of Realtors’ bid to start a Manhattan chapter in a vote to be held this Saturday.

GlobeSt.com reported back in March that David Machonski of Coldwell Banker Hunt Kennedy, the president of the Manhattan Association of Realtors, was getting a group of commercial and residential brokerages together to start a Manhattan chapter of NAR. In theory, the idea seemed wonderful, but the problem was that the Bronx had an existing NAR chapter that controlled the Manhattan territory.

“To resolve the dispute, we’ve worked out an agreement with the Bronx where we would control the territory south of 145th Street under the name the Manhattan Association of Realtors,” Netter says. “This was really the only obstacle in our way to forming a Manhattan chapter. As a result, we expect NAR to accept our bid in a vote to be held this Saturday, May 19th.”
