Northshore Area Board of Realtors

What Northshore Area Board of Realtors does

Northshore Area Board of Realtors (NABOR) is a professional trade association, founded circa 1954 and headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, serving licensed real estate agents, brokers, appraisers, and real estate affiliates across three Louisiana parishes: St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington. The organization is a chartered local board affiliated with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and Louisiana REALTORS®, giving members access to the NAR Code of Ethics, standardized forms, and state/national advocacy infrastructure including LARPAC political contributions.

NABOR's core offerings are organized around two searchable member directories (Agent Directory and Affiliate Directory) that connect consumers to REALTORS® and affiliate service providers such as title companies, mortgage lenders, home inspectors, insurance providers, and photography/videography companies. Complementary products include downloadable Louisiana transaction forms (2026 Residential Agreement to Buy or Sell, 2026 Property Disclosure), online education delivered through a partnership with The CE Shop (real estate pre-licensing, exam prep, post-licensing, continuing education, plus mortgage, appraisal, and professional development tracks), NAR Code of Ethics professional standards resources, broker tour schedules, and a Monthly Spotlight Series of video market statistics. The underlying technology stack is built on GrowthZone's membership management platform for directories, applications, calendar, and contact management, with no proprietary technology assets disclosed.

The business model is membership-dues-driven, with separate subscription tiers for REALTOR® members and Affiliate members on annual billing cadence; dues are not publicly disclosed and must be quoted. Go-to-market is community-led, leveraging the 70-year brand presence, in-person broker tours, events, referrals, and digital channels (website, email newsletter). The organization employs 1–10 staff and operates from a single Covington office. NABOR derives no venture funding, has no parent company, and is governed by member REALTORS® through a Board of Directors.
