Do More
Association members get more done.
Our skills-building, informational and certification classes equip you with the tools you need to be more productive and effective.
The connections you make to a wider network of contacts streamline the buy-sell process, so you provide exceptional and efficient service.
Being a smaller Association is an advantage as you can much more easily get to know the people, get to know the market, get the support and answers you need and keep your finger on the pulse of the vibrant, ever-changing and growing communities of Orange and Chatham Counties that we serve.
"The Association creates the opportunity to learn things that help with business - like oil tanks or what values appraisers are using for adjustments."
-Jackie Tanner, REALTOR®/ Broker
"If you know the person representing the other side, or on the mortgage or insurance side, everything tends to go more smoothly."
- Chanel Hart D'Aprix, REALTOR®/ Broker
Be More
The association and its members are more than just credentials.
We undertake a number of charitable projects that strengthen our community, including Fix-A-Home and Day of Service. Members also advocate for local and state public policy that protects and strengthens our business, our economy and the quality of life in our communities.
"Our area commands a premium because of our quality of life, so our sales success depends on having a healthy community. By bettering our community, we're helping our market thrive."
-Mark Zimmerman, REALTOR®/ Broker
