Lone Wolf/NAR Benefits

Recent publications and news from around the country regarding the Lone Wolf / zipForms benefit through NAR have sparked numerous questions and concerns for OREF subscribers.  At OREF we want to reassure you that we are and will continue to be more accessible than ever, including on Lone Wolf platforms such as zipForm edition and Transaction Desk.

Beginning January 2022 Lone Wolf’s zipForm edition will no longer be free to NAR members.  This means that current users of Lone Wolf’s zipForm edition will be charged directly for the platform use.
