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 also no longer required to complete NAR's Triennial Code of Ethics Training.

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 2023 would have their dues waived starting in 2024. Upon approval, each REALTOR® Emeritus member will receive a congratulatory letter, certificate, and 40-year REALTOR® Emeritus lapel pin.

If you believe you qualified to be a REALTOR® Emeritus as defined above, please download and submit REALTOR® Emeritus application, found in the "Applications" section of this page.

*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. Click here to review NAR's REALTOR® Emeritus Award Process FAQs.

NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign

Each year, your Renewal Statement contains a separate line item for the NAR Consumer Advertising Campaign.

The Consumer Advertising Campaign 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 Consumer Advertising Campaign, "That's Who We R," please visit www.nar.realtor/thats-who-we-r.
