The Grosse Pointe Board of REALTORS® is a local trade association. Membership with GPBR includes membership in the state association, Michigan REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®. At the national level the National Association of REALTORS® is comprised of over 1.3 million members. There are 55 states and territorial associations, broken up into 13 regions. Each state or territorial association is comprised of “local” associations.
The members with which you interact belong to a local association. It is at the local level where most agents are engaged. There are approximately 1,200 local associations across the country, 40 local residential associations are in Michigan.
Members choose the association to which they belong. Some make that selection because it is the least expensive; others because it is the largest.
The Grosse Pointe business model is based on two things:
- Providing the best member experience
- Working every day to make members more productive, successful and profitable.
The consumer cannot benefit from an association’s size, or because an association saves an agent $50 a year. Instead, a consumer will benefit from the an agent that is properly supported, educated, encouraged and appreciated. This allows the agent to deliver the best consumer experience.
Properly supported by GPBR, our members can best help consumers.
