Knox County Board of REALTORS®

Membership

What is the Knox County Board of REALTORS®? Chartered since 1946, the Knox County Board of REALTORS® (KCBR) is comprised with approximately 155 professional members including Brokers, REALTORS® and Affiliate members. KCBR is a non-profit trade organization for REALTORS® and real estate affiliated members. KCBR is a professional organization for real estate professionals who sell real property and for businesses that work in or with the real estate industry. KCBR operates the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) of Knox County which is an extensive database of homes for sale in Knox and surrounding counties. KCBR is maintained by an Executive Officer (EO) and a seven-member Board of Directors (BOD's). Voted by the General Membership, the BOD's meet 10 times a year to discuss headline real estate matters that may or may not affect the home owner, potential home owner or its members. In brief, the EO serves as the liaison between its Board of Directors, Members, the Ohio Realtors® (OR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Primary Realtor Membership By joining KCBR, you’ll be gaining access to one of the largest trade organizations in the U.S.- the National Association of REALTORS® as well as local representation with the Ohio REALTORS®. This also affords an agent to call themselves a Realtor upon joining the KCBR. KCBR provides a variety of FREE services to its Primary Realtor members including but not limited to: the GE Supra application (annual savings of approximately $360.00), leased lockboxes to Primary Brokers (savings of approximately $100 per lockbox), extended insurance while using our leased lockboxes, free education, free access to the online library of real estate forms in Zipforms; free use of Digital Ink, free local legislative representation, membership in the OR and NAR. Also free to attend our annual golf, Christmas events, and participate with any consumer advocacy/community-based events, throughout the year. Being a Primary Realtor member also allows you to join us for our two General Membership meetings, where you can network with fellow members, professionals and affiliates. This allows you to advertise at a discounted rate in the Board sponsored magazine that also is online to reach more customers. Joining KCBR provides you with access and connects you with the network of real estate professionals in our area-Knox County, Ohio. This means you’ll be able to connect with REALTORS® and affiliated businesses and professionals working in the same area, city, or county as you. Why join your local MLS? While some think it would be easier to have one single MLS that is not necessarily the best scenario. Using your local MLS assures you will have the most up to date listings and this is in the best interest or fiduciary duty to your clients. Being an MLS participant also affords you local support most often- immediately. Need to add a field, city etc.? Contact us and it’s done. We also do not charge for secretaries or 3rd party vendors: RETS or IDX. Interested in joining?
