Are You Eligible For REALTOR� Emeritus Status?
Any person who has held membership in the National Association of REALTORS� as a REALTOR�, REALTOR-ASSOCIATE�, or a combination of both, for a cumulative period of 40 years in one or more Associations of REALTORS� is eligible before the new qualifications take effect in 2015
NEW Qualifications:
The criteria for becoming a REALTOR� Emeritus in 2015 will require at least one year of serving on a national committee, which includes serving as a Director, or serving as a Federal Political Coordinator (FPC).
However; a provision allowing for state or local association service in lieu of national service for eligibility for National Emeritus status, was approved. This provision will be sunset after 2019.
A standard certification form (provided by NAR) must be filled out by the local association and is necessary to begin the approval process for a REALTOR� Emeritus candidate. Any available documentation that would provide reasonable substantiation of 40 years'; membership and committee service should be attached to the form. Deadline for approval at the Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo (in May) is March 14, 2014
Upon approval by the National Association of REALTORS� Board of Directors, no further payment of dues is necessary to NAR by the member association of which the REALTOR� Emeritus is a member. The dues waiver does not take effect until the following 'dues season.'
For example, members approved as Emeritus at the Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo (May) or The Annual REALTORS� Conference & Expo (in the fall) of 2014 would have their dues waived starting in 2015 since dues are due and owing by the local associations as of Jan. 1 of each year.
REALTOR� Emeritus members are exempt from the Quadrennial Ethics Training requirement.
If you believe you are eligible for REALTOR� Emeritus Status contact Kristine or Richard at NFCAR 203-744-7255.
Waiver of dues by the local association and/or state association is at the discretion of those entities
