Who We Are
The Mohawk Valley Association of REALTORS® (MVAR) is the professional home for over 500+ REALTOR® and Affiliate members, serving the communities of Oneida, Herkimer, and surrounding Central New York counties with deep local expertise and unwavering commitment since 1915.
We connect buyers, sellers, and communities with trusted real estate professionals who understand the heart of Central New York — from the city neighborhoods of Utica and Rome to the lakeside communities and rural landscapes that make this region special.
Our Identity
We are more than a professional association — we are neighbors, advocates, and leaders in our communities. Our members bring diverse experiences, shared values, and a passion for the region’s growth and success. Whether born and raised here or newly rooted, they embody the welcoming spirit of the Mohawk Valley.
Community-Focused & Service-Driven
MVAR members play an active role beyond real estate transactions — supporting local charities, community programs, youth initiatives, and services for veterans. We work every day to help newcomers feel at home and champion what makes Central New York a great place to live and work.
Professional Standards & Excellence
At MVAR, excellence isn’t optional — it’s expected. Our members uphold the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, one of the oldest and most respected professional standards in the nation. Through volunteer committees, continuing education, and access to tools and technology, we equip our members to serve with skill, fairness, and integrity.
Your Local Real Estate Voice
For over a century, MVAR has stood as a trusted voice for property rights, fair commerce, and consumer protection in the Mohawk Valley. We engage in issues and legislation that support homeowners, safeguard local communities, and elevate professionalism in real estate.
Connected to Broader REALTOR® Networks
