As Illinois REALTORS® gather in Washington, D.C., this week for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Legislative Meetings, we thank Ezekiel “Zeke” Morris for his dedicated service as the 2025 REALTOR® Party Director.

The REALTOR® Party champions public policies and political candidates that uphold property rights, foster vibrant communities and support the real estate profession. In his role as 2025 Director, Morris oversees and facilitates the REALTOR® Party’s core initiatives: Vote, Act, and Invest.

A longtime advocate for REALTOR® political engagement, Morris has been a strong voice for protecting private property rights and advancing the real estate industry. He was inducted into the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Hall of Fame in 2017 in recognition of his commitment.

Morris, designated managing broker of EXIT Strategy Realty/EMA Management on the South Side of  Chicago, has held numerous national leadership positions. He is a past president of the Chicago Association of REALTORS®, served as president of Illinois REALTORS® in 2022, and was named Illinois REALTOR® of the Year in 2023.
