Realtors, the moment your web presence has been waiting for is finally here! As of Oct. 23, members of NAR and CREA can claim their very own .REALTOR domain name. Even better--if you're one of the first 500,000 NAR members or the first 10,000 CREA members, you'll able to register your first domain name FREE for one year.

Here's how.

Claim Your .REALTOR Website Domain

NAR has made the domain registration process pretty easy. In fact, the most difficult part will probably be deciding what domain name to register (see the guidelines here). Below is the step-by-step process:

1. Go to https://www.claim.realtor/
2. Enter your name, zip code, and area code number in the pop-up box when prompted
3. Select the domain names(s) that interested you from the generated list of suggestions, and click "Add to cart"
4. If none appeal to you, you can try another is the Search bar at the top of the page
5. Once all of your selections have been added to your cart, click "Proceed to Checkout"

From there, you'll be prompted to log-in to your NAR or CREA account and walked through the checkout process.

Once you've claimed the domain name(s) you want, you can use them in a few different ways. If you have an existing website, you can redirect visitors who type in your .REALTOR address to your current site. If you'd like to change your existing site's default address to your .REALTOR domain, ask your website company or administrator to change the Domain Name Servers (DNS).

You can also claim a FREE realtor.com profile website. This is a great option if you don't have a site currently or just want to take advantage of having an extra spot on the web for consumers to find you. These profile sites let you display your social media streams, client recommendations, listings and more all in one place. You can see an example profile site here.

Remember, only the early bird gets a free .REALTOR domain. Claim yours today!
