Re: Joining the local board of Realtors.
I joined the local association this year for suprakey access and networking would be OK too. Very segregated. Mortgage companies, mortgage brokers, lawyers, etc. apparently hold a higher position in affiliate ranking. Inspectors are not mentioned in any newsletters or "Invites". The social functions so far have been "Formal" or a golf tournament. To use the suprakey as an affiliate, you have to have a Call Before Showing Code from the listing agent in addition to your PIN number. 99.999% of the agents don't know what a CBS number is much less let you have it. Now, if you carry $1,000,000 worth of general liability insurance you don't have to have a CBS number. BUT, you have to get a fax or email from the Realtor acknowledging that you have their permission to enter the property. The GE Suprakey access fee is $205 a year. Too much trouble, too much cost, not worth it in this neck of the woods.
