REALTOR® Application

By initialing below, I consent that the REALTOR® Associations (local, state, national) and their subsidiaries, if any (e.g., MLS, Foundation) may contact me at the specified address, telephone numbers, fax numbers, email address or other means of communication available including my cell phone number via text messages, SMS messages, and calls to my cell phone using prerecorded electronic message calls, as well as calls made via automatic telephone dialing systems or via email. I further agree to update the association with any changes to my contact information and to permit the association to update contact information with information provided by any multiple listing service as part and continuation of this consent. I understand that I can revoke this consent at any time by replying STOP to cancel. Message and Data Rates May Apply.

NOTE: Applicant acknowledges that if accepted as a member and he/she subsequently resigns from the Board or otherwise causes membership to terminate with an ethics complaint pending, the Board of Directors may condition renewal of membership upon applicant’s certification that he/she will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel. If applicant resigns or otherwise causes membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a REALTOR®.

1. Additional Requirements: I understand that ECAR requires completion of the following programs within 60 days of application for membership:

• Orientation
• Code of Ethics
• Fairhaven Simulation

2. Non-Election: In the event of non-election, my local dues only shall be returned to me less a prorated amount to cover the number of days that I received association services and any application fee.

3. Code of Ethics: Membership in ECAR necessarily means that I am also a member of CTR and NAR. Membership brings certain privileges and obligations that require compliance. In the event of my election, I understand that I will be required to complete periodic Code of Ethics training as specified in the association’s bylaws as a continued condition of membership and I agree to be bound by the Code of Ethics of the National Association, which includes the duty to arbitrate (or to mediate if required by the association), as well as the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of ECAR, CTR, and NAR. I understand the maximum fine for violations of the Code of Ethics and violations of other membership duties is stated in the Bylaws. Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of requirements, such as orientation, not be completed within timeframe established in the association’s bylaws.

4. No Refund: I understand that my membership dues are non-refundable. In the event I fail to maintain eligibility for Membership for any reason under the bylaws, including but not limited to discipline by ECAR, I understand I will not be entitled to a refund of my dues.

Certification of Information: I hereby certify that the foregoing information furnished by me is true and correct, and I agree that failure to provide complete and accurate information as requested, or any misstatement of fact, shall be grounds for revocation of my membership if granted. I further agree that, if accepted for membership in the Board, I shall pay the fees and dues as from time to time established. NOTE: Payments to ECAR are not deductible as charitable contributions. Such payments may, however, be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Dues are non-refundable.
