The announcement follows the recent resignation of NAR's president amid sexual harassment allegations and a jury verdict issued against the organization over how real estate agents receive commissions.

Bob Goldberg, CEO of the Chicago-based National Association of Realtors, resigned Thursday, more than a year before his expected departure. The announcement follows reported allegations of sexual harassment at NAR, which led to the resignation of former NAR President Kenny Parcell and staff members calling for executives including Goldberg to resign in September. It also comes days after a federal jury in Missouri ruled NAR and several large real estate brokerages would have to pay $1.

Mantill Williams, the association’s vice president of communications, told the Tribune in a phone interview Thursday that Goldberg’s resignation was planned prior to the court ruling on Tuesday and did not have to do with the harassment allegations against Parcell. Nykia Wright, former CEO of the Chicago Sun-Times, has been appointed as the interim CEO of the organization while the association continues its search for a permanent replacement.
