Become a Realtor® Member

A Realtor® is a licensed real estate salesperson who is a member of the National Association of Realtors®, the largest trade group in the country. Realtors® are held to a higher ethical standard than licensed agents and must adhere to a Code of Ethics. All Realtor® members must have an active Virginia Real Estate License from DPOR. Click here to apply for NVAR Membership.

Why Join NVAR?

NVAR is one of the premier Realtor® Associations in the country. When you join your local association, you join a prestigious brand that tells your clients you are more than just an average real estate agent. Realtors® abide by a code of ethics that sets them apart from a non-Realtor® salesperson, and are offered tools through their association to better help them succeed in real estate.

Dues FAQ

Can I Make Payments?

NVAR collects the dues fees for all three associations and is responsible for dispersing the monies to the proper organizations by a certain date.
For this reason, we require payment in full.
Do I have to Pay VR and NAR?

Yes, being a member of a local association also requires state and national membership.
Can you keep my credit card on file?

For security purposes NVAR does not keep our member’s credit card numbers on file.
Do I Have to Pay the NV/RPAC?

NV/RPAC is a voluntary investment and is not a requirement.

Note: The NV/RPAC fundraising year is aligned with the calendar year. Investments made on your dues bill will be credited and recognized for the year in which they are collected.
Can I get a bill mailed to me?

In choosing to be environmentally friendly, NVAR has gone completely green.
All invoicing is now done online.
If I pay my dues and then later put my license into an inactive status,can I get a refund?

Dues are non-refundable and tax-deductible.
However, if you decide to join another association, your NAR dues (and VR if you are transferring to another Virginia association) are transferrable if the transfer is within the same calendar year.
