Rewire, Not Retire!
After years of championing ethics, due process, and REALTOR® professionalism, Melody Mar is officially “rewiring.” As GAAR’s longtime Professional Standards Director, Melody has been the trusted resource behind countless ethics hearings, mediation sessions, and arbitration requests, helping members navigate conflict with fairness, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.
But don’t call it a retirement—Melody’s simply shifting gears.
Whether serving as a confidential ombudsman, helping REALTORS® resolve disputes before they escalate, or ensuring a fair and efficient professional standards process, Melody has quietly upheld the integrity of the REALTOR® brand for over a decade. She also played a critical behind-the-scenes role in coordinating the logistics for GAAR’s Annual Meeting, Awards Gala nominations, and celebration events, and was instrumental in revitalizing and refreshing key member programs to better reflect today’s real estate landscape.
Her legacy? A more professional, more connected, and more compassionate REALTOR® community.
