Q. My Broker requires me to be a member, is that true?
A. Georgia is one of 5/6 states which gives a licensed agent the choice of becoming a member of the Association. This means the licensed agent makes the choice of the company they choose to hang their license with. If the company they choose to be a part of is a member of the Association, it is a requirement that they become a member as well, making the decision to be a REALTOR® member YOURS (the agent's decision). Remember, it is a PRIVILEGE to be a REALTOR®.
Q. How much is it to become a member?
A. Your Pro-rated amount is based on the assigned firm date on your pocket card. You have 30-days from that date to join the Association. See below for fee schedule information and a link to access the schedule.

Q. Is there a payment plan available for New Members?
A. There are no payment plans for new members. Membership fees are due upon joining the Association. The prospective REALTOR® is to submit a copy of their pocket card along with the application. The pocket card has the official Assigned to Firm date which is what is considered when the individual is pro-rated their membership fees. Individuals have 30-days from the Assigned to Firm date to join the Association. Anyone joining after 30-days will be subject to a late fee in addition to the pro-rated amount.
