The president of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has resigned after an article published in The New York Times on Saturday detailed complaints from women that he exhibited a pattern of inappropriate behavior. Multiple women stated that they had been harassed or subjected to inappropriate conduct by NAR president Kenny Parcell, who denies all accusations made against him.
Tracy Kasper, NAR’s president-elect, will take over Parcell’s position upon his resignation on Monday, The New York Times reports.
“We recognize there is lots of concern, anger and disappointment,” Ms. Kasper said in a memo to N.A.R. members, “and we want to acknowledge the people who have come forward and shared their stories and those of you who have shared your perspective over the past few days. Our commitment to our staff and our members is unwavering, and we will continue to enhance the way we foster a welcoming, safe and respectful workplace.”
