NAR CEO Steps Down Amid $1.8B Antitrust Verdict and Harassment Scandal as Interim CEO Takes Over

Bob Goldberg, CEO of the National Association of Realtors, is stepping down after a federal jury found the organization liable for $1.8 billion in damages for conspiring to inflate commission rates.

Earlier this year, the NAR president resigned amid sexual harassment allegations. Redfin also withdrew its NAR membership this month.

Nykia Wright has been appointed interim CEO starting November 20th. She has experience leading organizational transformations.

NAR is a powerful non-profit with over 1.5 million member real estate agents and over $1 billion in assets.

Goldberg said he decided to retire in October, before the jury verdict, after 30 years at NAR. He said Wright's expertise fits NAR's needs.
