NAR NXT Is Finally Here!

Monday Morning in Houston: Cold Weather, Hot Energy — NAR NXT Is Finally Here!

Good morning from bloody freezing Houston, Texas!
It may be 45° but feels like 35°, and for me, that’s practically Antarctic — but the energy in this city is absolutely on fire.

Why?
Because the early birds for NAR NXT are already arriving!

A Historic Homecoming — Nearly 50 Years in the Making

The National Association of REALTORS® hasn’t hosted its annual conference in Houston in almost 50 years.
Half a century later, we are finally the host city again — and we’re ready to deliver a week they’ll never forget.

Houston has grown, transformed, diversified, and risen as one of the most global, innovative, and welcoming cities in the United States.
It’s the perfect time for NAR to be back.

Early Arrivals… Despite the Chaos

NAR NXT officially kicks off Thursday through Sunday, but the city is already buzzing with partners, friends, colleagues, AMPI leaders, and REALTORS® from around the world.

Meanwhile — because the universe enjoys drama — the government shutdown continues to impact Air Traffic Control and TSA.
Thousands of flights have already been cancelled nationwide. Travelers are rerouting, rescheduling, rebooking, and possibly praying.

But fear not…

Texans Don’t Panic — Texans Two-Step

We are certainly being challenged this year.
Huge hurdles. Big unknowns. Constant changes.

But here in Texas, we don’t back down.
We adapt.
We smile.
We say “y’all come on in.”
And sometimes, we add a little two-step for good luck.

The TEXAS Booth: Do NOT Miss This

This year, the Texas REALTORS® Booth is going to be a showstopper — and YOU will want your photo there.

Why?

Because…

We’re unveiling a SIX-FOOT Texas Boot for photo ops!

Yes, a giant, gloriously oversized “only-in-Texas” boot.
Perfect for selfies, group shots, marketing posts, and proving to the world that everything really is bigger in Texas.

If you don’t take a picture with the 6-foot boot… did you even attend NAR NXT?

The Networking Will Be Next-Level

Whether you are new to the business or a global veteran, NAR NXT in Houston offers unmatched opportunities:

Global Pavilion — meet the world
AMPI Mexico delegation
International REALTOR® Members
Thought leaders & innovators
New partnerships waiting to happen
Old friends ready to reconnect
Business, referrals, and collaboration everywhere you turn

This is not just a conference.
It’s a global marketplace of ideas, relationships, and opportunity.

And Houston — nearly 50 years after hosting NAR — is ready to welcome the world back with open arms.

Bundle up, Houston. It may feel like 35°, but NAR NXT is about to bring the HEAT.

We’ll see you this week — at the sessions, at the networking events, and of course…
at the Texas Booth next to the 6-foot boot.

Y’all get ready.
It’s showtime.
