For one NAR just had a big victory when Congress wanted to rob Fannie Mae of funds to pay for the highay transportation bill. For Oklahoma, Oklahoma City wanted to have anyone with a vacant home pay up to $195 a month to the city as a revenue grab. Since 70% od our RPAC funds come back to the state we used that and NAR kicked in extra money and expertise and we got a bill passed staewide to make this illegal. Just a little food for thought. Not bad for $150 a year.

Sally,
I am reading the answers. Just for the record, in the 20 years we worked in commercial real estate, no one we did deals with including the companies were listed on NYSE paid any due to NAR. We all did well and thrived. A

I paid mine in September and got a discount of 10% on the local dues. That helped a little.

Its the cost of doing business, having a watch dog to keep others taking the money out of your back pocket in other ways. They also promote professionalism and the code of ethics.

I know hat you're saying. There is MLS, NAR, Keybox etc. It all adds up to a lot of money.

NAR... so you can feel good about yourself! I hear this year we all get our choice between unicorns and alicorns for our dues. Personally, I'm going with the alicorn, because I want to arrive in style and fly above the traffic. (An alicorn is a unicorn with wings, for those that aren't total nerds like me).
Out here, it's about $500 for all three and we have no choice but to join the state and national "union" of realtors.

I paid mine today, and all I could think about was what I could have bought with that money with a holiday shopping trip to the mall. But no, someone else will get to spend it.

Seems like a useless drain, but it is the cost of admission and the cost of keeping those who do not pay from competing with you.

Sally and David - I hear you, although they probably are doing a lot of things that we are just not aware of.
