National Association of Realtors President Kenny Parcell resigned Monday amid complaints of sexual harassment from current or former employees and members of the Chicago-based organization.
His resignation comes after The New York Times published accounts Saturday of alleged actions by Parcell, including forced physical contact and sending lewd photos and texts. The newspaper said it interviewed 29 people, some of them quoted by name. And some of those interviewed cited a sexist culture at the association, whose leadership is predominantly male even though Realtors are mostly female.
Parcell resigned in a letter to association leadership. He denied all the allegations and said he was a victim of character assassination. "I am deeply troubled by those looking to tarnish my character and mischaracterize my well-intended actions," he wrote. Parcell said his "resignation signifies that I will put the organization's needs first to move forward above my own personal needs to stay in this position.
In April 2022, Parcell sent a photo of his crotch to two employees, according to the Times. But Parcell and the association stated the photo was meant to solicit opinions about an NAR promotional belt buckle. It also reported Parcell frequently wanted to meet with younger staff during late hours and once suggested to two workers that they spend the night at his Utah home while they were in town. Parcell denied those allegations.
