100 Years of LAR

Celebrating a Century of REALTORS® Shaping West Texas

2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lubbock Association of REALTORS® (LAR). For a century, LAR has been more than a professional association—we’ve been a pioneer in market innovation, a champion for legislative advocacy, and a trusted partner to over 1,700 real estate professionals and the communities they serve. Since our founding in 1926, LAR has grown alongside the region we call home. Through decades of change, our purpose has remained constant: supporting REALTORS® and advancing the dream of homeownership for more Lubbock citizens.

Honor the Past. Shape the Future.

To celebrate this historic milestone, LAR is launching a year-long centennial campaign dedicated to the memories of our past and the leaders who paved the way. Throughout 2026, we invite you to join us for a series of exclusive experiences designed to honor our shared legacy.

Throughout the year, LAR members can look forward to:

• Centennial Events & Experiences: Signature celebrations that bring our history to life and unite our growing membership.

• Limited-Edition Anniversary Swag: Exclusive 100-year commemorative gear to showcase your pride in our association.

• Telling our Lubbock REALTOR® Stories: Unique opportunities for every member to share their personal REALTOR® stories and help us document our impact on West Texas. Click HERE to submit your story.
