Join NVBR: A Guide to Membership

Did you know?
The term REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a
member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. REALTOR® is a professional association. It is not a license type.

• You must be a licensed real estate agent to join NVBR. For information about licensing, contact the Vermont Real Estate Commission at (802) 828-3228, or visit their website here.
• You must join a local Board of REALTORS® to become a member of the state and national REALTOR® Associations
• Brokers, agents and appraisers are eligible for REALTOR® membership.

STEP ONE

• Complete an NVBR application form. Download application
• Obtain the signature of a Designated REALTOR® on your new member application. This is required from all new agents and appraisers.
• If you are a broker and you are opening a new office, you can sign on behalf of yourself.
• Submit your application and full dues payment to NVBR.
• Upon completion of your application process, you will become a Provisional Member of NVBR. Provisional members are assigned a National REALTOR® Database System (NRDS) number. This number allows you to access member information on the Vermont Association of REALTORS® (VAR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) websites.

STEP TWO
Provisional members must complete two important steps to obtain REALTOR® status.

• Complete the Code of Ethics within 180 days of your application date. This is an online course offered on the NAR website. The course is free and takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete.
