MEMBERSHIP

WHAT MEMBERSHIP MEANS

Membership in the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® or ACBR, Inc. means being a part of state's largest and most active real estate association. 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 in the promotion and protection of the commercial real estate industry. It also provides a means for developing life-long affiliations, an outlet for community involvement and a means of defending private property rights. Nationally recognized, members of the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® 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®, subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics, and exhibits a commitment to Fair Housing. When joining the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS®, membership with the Georgia Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS® is gained.
