REALTORS dues (National, State and Local) are invoiced once a year and due in full by October 31st.  Invoicing is generally done in early summer to allow for payment plans.  Payments can be made via check or credit card (No Cash Accepted).

Reinstatement of REALTOR® membership: If an individual held REALTOR® membership in the prior year, they are responsible for the full current year dues plus any late fees. If an individual did not hold REALTOR® membership in the prior year, they do not need to pay past fees but must submit a new application and pay the application fee as well as prorated dues to rejoin. Additionally, individuals who are reinstating after being inactive for two (2) or more years will be required to attend New Member Orientation.

MLS quarterly fees are billed on the first business day of our billing months (January, April, July, October).  Payment is due in full by the last business day of the billing months.

To maintain your real estate licenses in the state(s) where they operate, agents and brokers need to participate in defined amounts of continuing education (CE) each year or recurring time period. These requirements are set forth in state laws and are administered by state real estate commissions. The specific requirements, time frames, and due dates vary considerably across states—as do the requirements for obtaining a license, called pre-licensing, and supplemental one-time novice training, called post-licensing.  WAAR offers FREE continuing education to all Primary and Secondary members.

The single, most outstanding characteristic that sets REALTORS^® apart from other real estate practitioners is the willingness to accept and abide by the Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS^®. The Code of Ethics, which was first adopted on July 29, 1913, is a living document–responsive in its content to changes in the law and industry. The Code has been revised several times through the years to reflect current developments in professional real estate practice. The term REALTOR^® has come to represent competency, fairness, and high integrity. These qualities stem from voluntary adherence to an ideal of moral conduct in real estate business practices. Local REALTOR Associations are tasked with enforcement of the Code of Ethics.  If you believe a REALTOR has violated the Code of Ethics, please contact the local REALTOR association where the REALTOR® holds primary membership.  If you need additional information or forms, click the link below to learn more.
