Membership means continuing the more than 100 years of involvement in the development of the real estate industry and the Metro Atlanta area. Membership provides a purpose, vision, and mission to promote and protect the real estate industry. It also provides a means for developing life-long affiliations, an outlet for community involvement and a means of defending the American dream of home ownership and private property rights. Nationally recognized, members of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association aim higher, gain more and make greater strides in both their business and personal endeavors.
ARE YOU REPRESENTING YOUR INDUSTRY AS A REALTOR®?
A real estate agent is a REALTOR® when he or she becomes a member of the National Association of REALTORS® - the world's largest professional association. The term REALTOR® is a legally registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. When joining the Atlanta REALTORS® Association, membership with the Georgia Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS® is gained.
