REALTOR Emeritus®
A REALTOR® Emeritus is any person who has held membership in the National Association of REALTORS® as a REALTOR®, REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®, or a combination thereof, for a cumulative period of 40 years. The REALTOR® Emeritus will also have served on a national committee for at least one year to achieve this status. Upon approval by the Board of Directors of the National Association of REALTORS®, no further payment of dues is necessary to the local, state, or national Associations. In addition to a dues waiver, REALTOR® Emeritus members are no longer required to complete NAR's Triennial Code of Ethics and Fair Housing Training Requirements.
The dues waiver does not take effect until the following 'dues season'. For example, members approved as Emeritus at the NAR Mid-Year or Annual meetings in 2026 would have their dues waived starting in 2027. Upon approval, each REALTOR® Emeritus member will receive a congratulatory letter, certificate, and 40-year REALTOR® Emeritus lapel pin.
If you believe you qualify to be a REALTOR® Emeritus as defined above, please download and submit the REALTOR® Emeritus application, found in the "Applications" section of this page.
For more information about the NAR's Committee process, please click here or check out NAR's FAQs Page related to Committee Service.
*All Emeritus Applications must be submitted by March 15th & September 15th of each year.
All Emeritus Applications will be reviewed by the National Association of REALTORS® at the mid-year meeting or the Annual Conference.

NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign
Each year, your Renewal Statement contains a separate line item for the NAR Consumer Ad Campaign Special Assessment.
The Consumer Ad Campaign Special Assessment will allow NAR to deliver messages quickly and effectively to consumers and public policymakers about issues that matter to REALTORS® and their clients – issues such as access to affordable mortgage financing, tax incentives to home ownership, overly stringent credit requirements, and cumbersome short sales and foreclosures.
As you may know, the Consumer Advertising Campaign remains one of the most popular programs among NAR members... 95% of REALTORS® favored the advertising program, and 91% would like to see more NAR advertising that protects homeownership, promotes real estate investment, and advances the REALTOR® profession.
While this line item is distinct from your NAR dues, it is not optional.
For more information on the current NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign, "Right by you," please visit nar.realtor/right-by-you.
