A. I needed to join the board. = $375 application fee
B. Yearly fee. = $425
C. Key deposit = $325
As I walked out I mentioned that their "busy" agents were just going to have to get off their asses and open doors for me.
look on her face = priceless
You folks have to pay some serious money to be a member of these assoc.
Don't you think it is absurd. You have to join to get a Supra Key. In Texas you would think where the inspectors are licensed thru the Texas Real Estate Commission we would be able to get a Supra Key with out joining the Association. The only reason you have to join is so they can keep the keys out of the hands of every Tom Dick and Harry. If you already have a state license and have to be insured it should keep you from becoming a member of a Real Estate Association just so you can obtain a Supra Key.
