FRANC Membership Terms and Conditions

I hereby apply for membership in the above-named Board and am enclosing my payment for a one-time application fee and membership dues (refer to fee chart for application fees and pro-rated membership dues amount; amount is pro-rated according to month joining).  My dues will be returned to me in the event of non-election.  Application fee is nonrefundable.  I will complete NAR’s online orientation within 30 days of the Board’s confirmation of membership.  Failure to meet this requirement may result in having my membership terminated.  In the event of my election, I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®, which includes the duty to arbitrate, and the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the above-named Board, the State Association, and the National Association, and if required, I further agree to satisfactorily complete a reasonable and non-discriminatory written examination on such Code, Constitutions, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations.  I understand membership brings certain privileges and obligations that require compliance.  Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of requirements, such as orientation, not be completed within timeframe established in the Board’s bylaws.  I understand that I will be required to complete periodic Code of Ethics training as specified in the Board’s bylaws as a continued condition of membership.

Applicant acknowledges that if accepted as a member and he/she subsequently resigns from the Board or otherwise causes membership to terminate with an ethics complaint pending, the Board of Directors may condition renewal of membership upon applicant’s certification that he/she will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel.  If applicant resigns or otherwise causes membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a REALTOR®.  

By checking the box on the FRANC Membership Application, I am certifying that I have read and agree to the terms and conditions and that all information provided on my application is true and correct.
