Additional Information

Non-Member Licensee

Non-Member licensees do not receive Association benefits and may not use the REALTOR® marks in connection with their businesses. Under the dues membership requirements, the Designated REALTOR® or Principal Member is responsible for paying applicable dues for all licensed agents within the organization, including non-member licensees.

An individual may hold non-member licensee status for one of the following reasons:

• They have not submitted a membership application or paid the application fee. The Association has received only the payment of their annual licensee dues. To become an active REALTOR® member and receive Association benefits, the individual must submit a membership application and pay the applicable application fee.
• They did not complete the new member training requirements within the required time frame. The individual must reapply and repay the application fee to rejoin. They will then have another six months to complete the required training.
• They did not complete the triennial Code of Ethics training requirement or the Fair Housing training requirement within the required time frame. If the training was completed online or through an outside provider within the applicable time frame, proof of completion should be submitted to membership@atlcbr.com so REALTOR® status can be reinstated. If the training was not completed within the applicable cycle, the individual must reapply and repay the application fee to have REALTOR® status reinstated.
