OUR STORY

As the trusted source that lights the path for the real estate industry and our profession in Central Florida, the Osceola County Association of REALTORS®, commonly called OSCAR, is the largest trade association in Osceola County and was established in 1924.  On October 1, 1950, we were officially designated a member of the National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREB) which today is the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), the largest trade association in the nation with more than 1.5 million members. When brokers, real estate agents, and business partners join our Association, they also become members of NAR and Florida REALTORS®. Our Association currently represents over 5,600 REALTOR® and affiliate members also referred to as Vital Industry Partners (VIPs).

The term REALTOR® is trademarked and identifies real estate professionals who are members of NAR, FR and OSCAR and subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. Working for property owners, our Association provides a facility for professional development, advocacy, and exchange of information among our members. When buying or selling a home, we encourage consumers to rely on the expertise and integrity of REALTORS®.

The following are some highlights of what sets us apart from other REALTOR® associations:

• We help educate our community on the importance of homeownership and private property rights.
• We believe education is integral to a successful real estate career, and our Association offers a diverse range of mandatory and elective continuing education classes, pre-licensing courses and professional designation classes for our members.
• We represent our members' interests by participating in a REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC). RPAC is a powerful political lobbying body, supporting legislators and issues favorable to the real estate industry, private property rights, and “quality of Life” issues affecting the preservation, growth, and development of local communities.
• We provide a timely and cost-effective process that resolves disputes, rather than resorting to costly litigation.
• We provide our members with vital information about industry issues and trends. Vehicles include our website, monthly newsletter, weekly updates, and a wide variety of social media channels.
