Where Passion Meets Professionalism
A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation
Since our founding in 1887, Minneapolis Area Realtors® has been at the heart of the real estate community in Minnesota. We’re proud to be the largest local Realtor® association in the state, and our legacy includes shaping the very term “Realtor®” itself. In 1916, Charles Chadbourn, a past president and Minneapolis member, coined the term, forever changing the way the profession is seen.
As we move forward, we honor this rich history while continuing to drive excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
A Commitment to the Future

By investing in education and supporting local economies, we help Realtors® thrive.
