What is a NRDS # and

Very good question, and
you aren’t the first to ask!
NRDS stands for the National
REALTOR® Database System
You can go to REALTOR.org…the NAR site for REALTORS®
and find your NRDS number
NAR has assigned a NRDS# to every
REALTOR® and Affiliate member
Or you can look on the mailing label
of your REALTOR® magazine
NRDS # is 9 digits

There is a lot of information, and a lot of tools here!
Let’s start out with making a payment.
This could be
dues, some
other fee or for
a purchase
through the
online store
that is coming
soon!
At a glance
you see that
there is a
balance in the
account
Select My Orders
Let’s pay the MLS dues.
Select “Pay Dues”
By the way, notice your entire payment
history is right down here!
The rest is just like
shopping on line.
Soooo easy!!
By the way, if you’re paying
something other than dues
you select that item here…
Then it is just follow the
prompts like any other online
shopping experience!
If you are a
Broker or office
manager this
next bit is just
for you!
Brokers your Portal
Home Page will look
like this….
Pay attention to this
YOU can use this
feature to manage your
agents and even pay
their dues…
Select “Pay
Agent Dues”
Here you can see which of your
agents have dues outstanding.
Invoices for the dues will also be in their individual
account. They can pay them online or you can pay them
here.
Select the agent’s
dues you want to pay
Then click here!
This screen will flash by quickly as
the system processes the agents
you’ve selected….
Now you’re once again at
the payment page and the
rest is just like any online
purchase or payment.
Now let’s look at what else
you can do in RAMCO!
Members can update their member profile here
Brokers can update their Office profile here

seen a lot…and there
is much, much more.
This TAB BAR will
take you to other
functions.
Click on the EVENTS Tab
and let’s register for an
event…like the TREPAC
Golf Tournament!
Some events will
be shown as
“meetings”.

Tournament is an
example of that.

name of the event, the
date and the Location

one then click CONTINUE

REGISTRATION and the rest is just
like any other online shopping experience
