Here for You
We have a variety of committees designed to help you grow in your profession as a REALTOR®.
KWAOR Committees
The purpose of the Kent Washington Association of REALTORS® Committees is to provide resources and support when it comes to education, events, government, communications and more.
Community Outreach
This committee is designed to help KWAOR reach the Consumer Outreach Core Standards requirements outlined by the National Association of REALTORS®. Members engage in meaningful activities throughout Kent & Washington Counties demonstrating how REALTORS® are the “Voice for Real Estate”.
