Membership

Step 1:

Once you have completed the licensing requirements through the State of Florida you are eligible for REALTOR® membership with the West Volusia Association of REALTORS®.

Step 2:

Hang your license with a broker that is a member of the West Volusia Association of REALTORS®.

Step 3:

Complete a membership application and come by our office to finish off the application process.  It's best if you bring in your completed applications, as it will save you time.  If you're unsure how to fill out specific sections of the application, don't worry, we'll help you in-person. Be sure to bring a copy of both your real estate and driver's license.

Step 4:

Pay the dues and fees related to membership.  This will include an application fee, dues to the local, state and national associations of REALTORS®; and also fees to Stellar MLS.  An outline of those fees by month have been listed below.

Step 5:

Complete the required training classes to officially become a REALTOR® member.  This includes an online new member orientation program, 3 MLS courses and a REALTOR® Code of Ethics Course.  All of these courses are available online to make things easier for you.

We currently are experiencing a large number of newly licensed individuals joining WVAR.  It is recommended that individuals call 386-774-6433 and speak with Sherry Hargrove to schedule an appointment to join the association. 

We wont turn anyone away if they decide to walk-in a membership application, but please understand that wait times can be over an hour as we help new members who made appointments first, and then any walk-in new members in the order in which they arrived to the board office.

For former Realtor members who wish to re-activate their membership with WVAR, please call Sherry Hargrove at 386-774-6433. Individuals who re-activate their Realtor membership during the months of September, October, November and December will be required to pay the next years dues total in full at the time of re-application for reinstatement. WVAR dues invoices are generated in September of each year for the following year.  Only current members in good standing may delay paying 2024 dues until the due date of October 31 without penalty.
