REALTOR® (Primary & Secondary)

What is a Primary member?
An individual is a primary member of CAAR if they pay local, state and national dues through CAAR. New member dues and application fees apply. New member orientation is required within 6 months of joining.

What is a Secondary member?
An individual is a secondary member if they pay current state or national dues through another association/board. A Letter of Good Standing is required from your primary association/board.

If the current year's Virginia REALTORS® (VAR) and NAR dues have been paid through your primary association/board, then only the application fee and CAAR local dues apply.

If only the current year's NAR dues have been paid through your primary association/board, then the application fee, CAAR local dues, VR dues, Issues Mobilization Fund, and new member fees apply.

Membership dues shall not be prorated if an individual held REALTOR® membership during preceding calendar year. The Ethics portion of the New Member Orientation class will be waived, provided member has completed Ethics within the last two years.
