WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- David Lereah, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, is leaving NAR to join Move Inc. as chairman and partner of a new business entity next month, NAR said Monday.

Lereah has directed NAR's research division, regulatory and industry relations division and other activities. He will leave the association in mid-May, NAR said.

As chief economist and senior vice president, Lereah is the NAR's spokesman on the U.S. economy and the housing and real estate markets.
