Some 30,000 Realtors(R) will join NAR and  bring hands-on help to clean up damaged neighborhoods, build 54 new Habitat for Humanity homes, and bring $34 million in badly needed revenue and fresh hope for a brighter future to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast when they convene in the Crescent City, November 10-13.

 NAR’s convention is expected to bring as much as $35 million-$40 million in convention revenues. As many as 30,000 Realtors and exhibitors are expected to attend, making the NAR convention the largest such event scheduled to take place in New Orleans this year.

The convention is cutely called “NARdi Gras, a Celebration of Realtors coming together to REnew, REconnect, and REenergize their careers and the city of New Orleans.” With some 200 conference sessions, 600 exhibitors, and thousands of real estate professionals from the United States and 60 nations.Â
