Dues and cost of membership
Not published publicly — contact the board.
Local, state and national dues are typically billed together once a year. They are separate from MLS subscriptions and separate from whatever your brokerage charges. At ONE Terminus you keep 100% of your commission on a flat membership, so association dues stay a predictable line item rather than something buried in a split.
Why Empire Board matters if you are choosing a brokerage
Georgia's historic Realtist board, affiliated with the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) rather than NAR; members use the term Realtist.
You keep your association and MLS memberships when you transfer your license. What changes is the split, the fees, the technology and the support — which is exactly what our take-home calculator is built to compare.
