What started as a forgotten, dilapidated wall has transformed into a vibrant mural that connects two historic cities—Newburgh and Beacon. Located beneath the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, this mural symbolizes not only art but movement, accessibility and unity. Thanks to the collaboration between HGAR, the Dutchess County Association of REALTORS®, the National Association of REALTORS® , and incredible local leaders, this project highlights the shared history, culture and potential of both cities. This mural isn't just a beautiful piece of art—it’s a representation of community, perseverance, and the power of collaboration. It inspires us all to see beyond boundaries and come together for the greater good.

NAR’s new "Multiple Listing Options for Sellers" policy gives sellers more control over marketing their homes while ensuring fairness for buyers. Sellers can now choose a “delayed marketing exempt listing,” keeping it in the MLS but postponing public marketing. Each MLS sets its own timeframe, and sellers must sign a disclosure confirming consent. One-on-one broker communication is allowed, but marketing to multiple brokerages still triggers the Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP). This policy maintains the rule requiring MLS submission within one business day of public marketing while offering more flexibility for sellers. OneKey MLS will finalize its local implementation by September 30, 2025. Learn more at Facts.realtor. #realtor #realestate
