membership options
RGA has two types of memberships:
- MLS PARTICIPATION gives you access to the Augusta Multiple Listing Service. This membership is billed monthly to your broker.
- ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP includes access to things like discounted Continuing Education classes, free attendance to events, and much more. See below for a more comprehensive list of benefits. This membership is billed directly to the member at the beginning of each year. There are two types of association memberships:
- PRIMARY MEMBERSHIP indicates you are paying your local, National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and State dues through this Association.
- SECONDARY MEMBERSHIP indicates you are paying your local dues through this association and paying local, National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and State dues through an association in another state in which you are licensed.
To determine which membership you should apply for, consult your broker. For questions regarding our process, please email Lauren Guillebeau at lguillebeau@augustarealtors.com. Once an application for membership has been completed, an orientation date will be scheduled for new members and any fees due will be paid at this time.
