Real Estate Salesperson Membership

Become a REALTOR® Member of HGAR

When you join HGAR, you become a REALTOR®, a designation that carries weight with consumers. The REALTOR brand is one of the most recognized in the world, because it speaks to the honor and integrity of the professionals who work in our profession.

HGAR is committed to developing the professional lives of each of our REALTOR members, via top-flight education, unparalleled networking, and advocacy on their behalf at the state and national level. When you join HGAR, we are truly at your side.

You can join us as a residential salesperson if your Broker is a member of HGAR. If you're already a member of another REALTOR association, you can join us as a secondary member.

Sensible Dues for Everyone

At HGAR, every REALTOR pays the same annual dues, regardless of whether they're a residential salesperson or the managing broker or designated REALTOR.

Member fees include local ($260), state ($120) and national REALTOR ($156 + $45 NAR Public Image Campaign) dues. All dues are pro-rated based on the month you join HGAR, so you only pay for services received. Dues are billed annually. REALTOR dues are not refundable.
