DESIGNATED BROKERS

Please remember that dues must be paid for any new licensees in your office as of the date of licensing. 2009 dues will be prorated if the licensee joins REALTORS, otherwise, the full amount of 2009 dues will be owed by you in the form of non-member sales assessments. To avoid an expensive invoice in September, if you have any new licensees – or if any join your office over the summer – please contact Nancy for the amount due for the remainder of 2009.
