Requirements for Maintaining REALTOR® Membership

Once an individual becomes a REALTOR® with the Bucks County Association of REALTORS®, they gain access to all the benefits and services provided by the local, state, and national associations. To retain REALTOR® membership, however, members must continue to meet the following requirements:

• Licensure – Members must maintain an active real estate license in Pennsylvania or a neighboring state. If your license becomes inactive, escrowed, or placed with a referral company, your membership will need to be canceled.

• Affiliation – Members must have their license affiliated with a Designated REALTOR® of an office that is a member of the Bucks County Association of REALTORS®. If the Designated REALTOR® is not a member, they must either join the organization or the member must consider joining the local association to which the Designated REALTOR® belongs.

• Dues – Members are required to pay the annual membership dues to the Bucks County Association of REALTORS® for local, state, and national associations. If payment is not made and the member remains actively licensed in a primary REALTOR® office, the Association will bill the broker for the licensee as a non-member.

• Education – Members must fulfill the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics and Fair Housing training every three years (current cycle: 1/1/2025 to 12/31/2027)
