Description:
National Retail Advisors Network ™is a National Alliance of Professionals in the retail real estate industry.
Unlike the traditional alliances, NRAN ™ includes members, not only from retail brokerage firms, but also
from retail real estate law firms, development firms, contracting companies, property management firms,
engineering firms, architectural companies, commercial appraisal firms and finance companies.
NRAN ™, through extensive research using US census demographics, member opinions, and geographic
boundaries, has divided the US into over 100 potential market areas. In each of those market areas, NRAN
will be selling one exclusive membership to each of the nine sectors (retail brokerage firms, real estate law
firms, development firms, contracting companies, property management firms, engineering firms, architectural
companies, commercial appraisal firms and finance companies) Once membership is full, NRAN ™ will have
presence from all of the professionals listed above in each of the market areas. NRAN ™ will have over
1,000 affiliate offies creating the nations largest alliance of retail real estate professionals.
One goal of NRAN ™ is to unite smaller companies from around the US, to help give them an edge against
the larger national firms. The names National Retail Advisors ™, NRAN™, National Retail Lawyers™,
National Retail Contractors™, National Retail Brokers™, National Retail Developers™, National Retail
Finance™, National Retail Engineers™, National Retail Architects™, National Retail Appraisers™, and
National Retail Management™ will be licensed to each member company with a choice to use the name or
to add it to the current company name. By doing this, NRAN ™ hopes to assist their members in gaining
national recognition, which in turn will help drive their client lists to numbers never seen before.
Along with the national recognition, members will also be involved in a national referral network. This will give
members the ability to send clients from one territory to the members in other territories and pass referral fees
to each other. Keep in mind, NRAN ™ operates solely on annual membership dues and DOES NOT request
portions of any of the commissions or fees earned by its member companies.
NRAN Charges $4,600.00 per year per member company
