REALTOR® Association appoints MLS4owners.com broker to its Board of Directors

We are always trying to make the voice of our customers heard, so this is good news.

Chris Nye, founder and President of MLS4owners.com, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Seattle-King County Association of REALTORS®. “Chris brings a valuable perspective to the board with his business experience and vast amount of work with state and federal government on anti-trust and consumer issues,” says the Board’s President Keith Nelson. “We look forward to his expertise and input.”


The Seattle-King County Association of REALTORS®, with 8,000-plus members, is a local board of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Its members participate in matters at all levels of government that affect private property rights, housing supplies, affordability and homeownership opportunities. Membership is voluntary, and only members may use the term REALTOR®, which is a licensed collective trademark.

Over the years Chris has also served the Washington State Department of Licensing Task Force 18.85, which was reviewing and updating the 70 year-old law of real estate licensing; on US Congressman Adam Smith’s Technology Advisory Council; and on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service By-Laws Committee. He and Ken Whitney also participated as stakeholders in recent Washington's Office of Insurance Commissioner hearings on Title Insurance regulation.

We will continue to look for opportunities to participate in political processes that could affect the industry and our customers.
