Tri-County Chapter
Tri-County Chapter History
The Tri-County Chapter carries forward the legacy of the REALTOR® Association of Northwestern Illinois (RANWIL), now an integral part of the NorthWest Illinois Alliance of REALTORS®. RANWIL served members across Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Stephenson counties, offering trusted support, advocacy, and education for real estate professionals throughout the region.
With a strong history of leadership and community engagement, RANWIL was known for its commitment to professional development and for fostering strong relationships with local housing partners and elected officials. Now united under the NWIAR banner, the Tri-County Chapter continues to uphold that commitment—connecting members with expanded resources, broader networking opportunities, and a strong voice in regional real estate matters.

Tri-County Chapter in the Community
REALTORS® invest $2,750 in Jo Daviess County housing study
Northwestern Illinois REALTORS® made a contribution they hope
will help local communities develop more housing and business commerce opportunities.
The Tri-County Chapter of the Rockford Area REALTORS® joined the Blackhawk Hills Regional Council, the Jo Daviess County Housing Authority, the Northwest Illinois Economic Development, local governments and additional supporters in funding a comprehensive housing study of Jo Daviess County. The Tri-County Chapter used a $2,750 grant from the National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR) Housing Opportunity Program (NAR) to show its support for the project.
Northwestern Illinois REALTORS® help open park playground in Nora
Thanks to volunteers from the REALTOR® Association of Northwestern Illinois (RANWIL), Nora Rolando Park opened in May with a playground.
A half dozen members donated time and sweat equity to spread 766 bags of specialized rubber mulch at the park.
Previously, using a combination of donations from members and a National Association of REALTORS® Placemaking Grant, RANWIL donated $5,500 to the Black Hawk Park District for the construction of playground in Nora.
