The purpose of the Utah Association of REALTORS® is to serve its members representing all facets of the real estate industry by providing and promoting programs and services to enhance members’ freedom and ability to conduct their business successfully, with integrity and competency, and through collective action to promote the preservation and extension of the right to own, transfer and use real property.
Realty Times debuted in 1997 as an online news service for the Real Estate industry, called Agent News. As the service grew in popularity, it was redeveloped as a consumer news service called Real Times in a strategic partnership with RealSelect, operator of Realtor.com and Homebuilder.com. Agent News remained a key industry section over the years. In 1998, Jody Lane and his partners gained full ownership and changed the name and officially became “Realty Times.”
