What is an Association of Realtors?

• Realtor is the trademark of the National Association of Realtors. Anyone who desires to be a member of the Association of Realtors must first be a member of NAR. This gives them the right to use the trademark name.

What is a Real Estate Association?

Anyone can get a license to sell real estate from their perspective state, as long as they pass that state exam and meet its requirements. They then get a license that says that they are licensed real estate agents.

As a licensed real estate agent the person can join a real estate association. A REALTOR can join a real estate association and an association of Realtors. One of the advantages of the real estate association is that any community member can join the association i.e.. Plumbers, appraisers, bankers, and home inspectors.

What are we?

NEMREA is a real estate association, but it is also much more than that. Its purpose is not only to make available the services to real estate agents and brokers that real estate associations typically provide, but also to benefit everyone who is directly or even indirectly associated with real estate. It serves as a platform from which area professionals can make contact with like-minded individuals, serve on committees of interest, and develop personal and business relationships, as well as upload their company information onto the association website at no cost.

What is more, NEMREA is a community oriented association. At the core of its foundation is the conviction that the strength of a society is generated from the synergism of its citizens – that collectively they are able to do more to benefit the community than the total of what each can do individually.

What does NEMREA do for Real Estate Agents?

NEMREA is one of a national family of associations that is committed to provide its members the widest range of services of any association anywhere for fees amounting to about 1/10 those of other associations. It was designed to provide:

1. Top-Notch Education• Members can earn their designations as well as fulfill their continuing

education requirements.• Classes are made available for those who wish to become Real Estate

Agents.• Tools to its members that give them a distinct advantage over members of

other associations.• Political representation for its members by being active in governmental

affairs & the Chamber of Commerce• Maintenance of a strong presence in the community by projecting a positive

image and strong community awareness.• Advertising and promotions of the association in order to gain members,

grow stronger, and offer more benefits to its members.• The long over-due paradigm shift in a profession that has been reluctant to

embrace needed changes.

What is US MLO ?

• USMLO is the U.S. Multi-Listing Organization. MLO provides the needed technical expertise in managing listing data for its affiliate associations. It differs from the MLS’s inasmuch as it utilizes a single listing database thus giving national exposure to all properties uploaded by member agents. The MLO’s are also community driven. That is, their profits are returned to the communities by its owners for purposes deemed most likely to reflect the attitudes and civic passions of the association members.

Welcome to AdvantageML, real estate’s premier data service under exclusive contract with NE Michigan MLO family of associations.

What is AdvantageML?

Advantage ML is the database used exclusively by the US Multi-Listing Organization’s affiliate associations. Because of its wide array of search features it is poised to be the real estate buyer’s site of choice. The tools that it provides to affiliate association members greatly surpass those of any other real estate or realtor association.

We’re Synergistic

These three entities are each the premier among those of their kind. Together they combine to impart a level of services far superior to what is made available by the multitude of MLS’s and the associations they partner with. The fact that these three together are able to duplicate the services of the realtor associations and also provide the additional services they do for but a fraction of the cost of all the other associations is a testimony to the fulfillment of their developers’ commitment to provide to real estate professionals the highest level of services attainable for the lowest possible price.
