What is it? A secondary membership means that you already belong to another association and wish to have a second membership with the North Bay Association of REALTORS.
What are the benefits of being a Secondary Member? You will have the same access as our Primary Members; access to our Marketing Meetings, Professional Development Courses we host, & access to disclosures that we currently own. (This will not affect your MLS access in any way, since our MLS is separate from our association, please contact BAREIS MLS 707-575-8000 for any MLS related questions)
