WAAR Mission Statement

The Williamsburg Area Association of REALTORS® mission is to serve its members by providing the necessary framework for professionalism and success.

The Williamsburg Area Association of REALTOR®S is a professional trade association of over 400 licensed real estate agents.  Our members abide by a strict code of ethics and have access to a wide variety of business services that are not available to non-REALTORS. This gives them a competitive edge in the marketplace, enabling them to provide superior services to buyers and sellers of real property.   One of the most valuable tools only available to REALTORS® is a state-of-the-art MLS (Multiple Listing Service) which provides accurate, current information about the local market and more. Through the Williamsburg Multiple Listing Service (WMLS) REALTORS® have access to many “Value Added Services” not found elsewhere.  And, ever serving our members, the WMLS has become part of a new venture – the Commonwealth MLS Co-op – which upon launch late fall 2015, will greatly expand the footprint of area covered.

Use this site to find a REALTOR®, find out the current status of home sales or to compare home prices in a neighborhood in which you may be interested.  Whether you're buying, selling or renting, look to our web site for details that will help make the process simple. Please visit us often and tell your friends about us, too.

All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS^® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" logo on their business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS^® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS^® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR^® again.
