This applies to any new agent that is making FAOR their primary board. We do not have Non-REALTOR® membership in our Board.  They must also belong an MLS and provide proof.  The REALTOR® membership application provides fees for the MLS, they do not need to fill out the MLS Salesperson Application.

If a REALTOR® belongs to an office out of our area and wishes to make FAOR their primary Board; the Broker must join the board as a “Secondary” member.
