Is it Really "optional" to Be a NAR Member?

Not unless you want to be Boycotted, Run Out of Businesses.. Kept from Advertising in those Local Glossy Shiny Real Estate Magazines.

The State Real Estate Board tells you that being a member of the National Association of Realtors is NOT Mandatory.. however if I am a NAR member as your "Supervising Broker" then you "have to be" according to the local mls..

The National Association of Realtors puts the squeeze
on Real Estate Brokers at every turn if you are NOT a "Realtor" ...

NAR Brokers tell their agents to be Careful if they feel they must work with you .. with me as a Non-NAR member.. gee she won't pay .. ya .. she don't have to.. and this Of Course is BULL.. all the agent has to do is put in a Form for the commission in the Offer.. so this Scare Tactic.. yet another way to Boycott me as a Non-NAR real estate broker.. YET "they" saying it is "optional" to be a NAR Member..

a bit more on the Commission thing.. see.. even as a NAR member.. I tell the Title Company what Commission "I OFFER" to the Selling Agent.. it is Called the SOC.. so I can offer whatever I want.. and well they can't really make me pay.. oh they can take me to the phone bologna arbitration at the local NAR Cronie Club.. but still I don't have to pay.. So the Form.. the Extra added addendum.. is wise either way.. Really and should NOT be yet another Reason to Boycott NON-NAR Realtors...

being a NAR member may be actually "Optional" but not "practical" unless of Course your ME and Want to Make a Grand Stand for the Real Estate Consumer.. and Go ahead and take the Boycott.. the constant slams.. and well attacks for going against the Super Power NAR...

What about those Magic Lock Boxes.. Can't get in if your NOT a Realtor... ?

How about Real Estate Forms.. well those "Standard Real Estate Forms" that are ONLY to protect Realtors FROM Real Estate Consumers.. well they are ONLY for NAR members and States do not necessarily provide forms.. so you as a NON-NAR Broker are SOL..

They back you into a corner at every turn to MAKE you join.. and they have Conflict of Interest Cartel with Zipforms ... NAR always Wins.. You always LOSE..

I have been a Broker owner for over a Decade now.. and you can Spit Fire at me all you like.. I was on the insdie as an OWNER.. of a non-franchise Real Estate Company and well I am Telling YOU the Truth.. whether you Believe it or NOT certainly does not change the TRUTH..
