A completed application is necessary to begin the approval process for REALTOR® Emeritus status, which must be submitted to NAR by the candidate's local association. Documentation substantiating the candidate's forty (40) years of membership (and one (1) year of service with NAR) must be attached to the application. All applications will be reviewed for approval by the National Association of REALTORS® at the mid-year meeting or NAR's Annual Conference.

Upon approval, REALTOR® Emeritus members will receive a congratulatory letter, certificate, and 40-year REALTOR® Emeritus lapel pin. REALTOR® Emeritus members receive a waiver of National (NAR) and State (GAR) membership dues and are exempt from the Code of Ethics Training Requirement. Emeritus members with the Greater Rome Board of REALTORS® are still responsible for paying the local dues annually. Please note that the dues waiver does not take effect until the dues year immediately following the Board of Directors' approval.
