APPLICATION FOR REALTOR® MEMBERSHIP
To the Ocala/MC Association of REALTORS®, I hereby apply for REALTOR® Membership in the above named Association and
am enclosing my check in the amount of $____________* for my __________ Dues payable to Ocala/MC Association of
REALTORS® (OMCAR). My application fee and __________ dues will be returned to me in the event of non-election. In the event
of my election, I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®, which includes the duty to
arbitrate, and the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the above named Association, the State Association and the
National Association, and if required, I further agree to satisfactorily complete a reasonable and non-discriminatory written
examination on such Code, Constitutions, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations. I understand membership brings certain privileges and
obligations that require compliance. . Membership is provisional and may be revoked should completion of requirements,
such as the orientation and New Member Code of Ethics training (New Member Code of Ethics must be completed within 90
days of application at www.realtor.org), not be completed within times indicated in the Bylaws. Following the initial
requirement, I understand I will be required to take a Code of Ethics course within specific 4-year periods.
NOTE: Applicant acknowledges that if accepted as a member and he/she subsequently resigns from the Board/Association or otherwise causes membership to
terminate with an ethics complaint pending, the Board of Directors may condition renewal of membership upon applicant’s certification that he/she will submit to the pending
ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel. If applicant resigns or otherwise causes membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues
in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a REALTOR®.
