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.
