AGENT APPLICATION
TYPE:
Primary Member-Realtor® Association of Sarasota and Manatee is primary Association
Secondary Member-Primary board membership is with another Association
Primary members are those who pay their FR and NAR dues through RASM and whose principal broker also holds
membership in RASM. Secondary membership is available only to REALTORS® whose Primary membership is in another
Association. Secondary REALTORS® must provide a letter of good standing from their Primary Association stating they have
paid the state and national dues for current year.
I hereby apply for membership in the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee, in the category checked above and enclose my
payment for the required dues and fees, which are NOT refundable. I agree that, if accepted for membership, I will pay the dues and fees as
from time to time established. I agree as a condition of membership to thoroughly familiarize myself with the Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR), including the duty to arbitrate business disputes in accordance with the Code of Ethics and
Arbitration Manual of NAR and the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations of RASM, the Florida REALTORS® (FR), and NAR. I
further agree that my act of paying dues and fees shall evidence my initial and continuing commitment to abide by the Code of Ethics,
Constitution, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and duty to arbitrate, all as from time to time amended.
I acknowledge that RASM will maintain a membership file of information which may be shared with other boards/associations where I
subsequently seek membership. This file shall include previous applications for memberships: all final findings of Code of Ethics violations
and violations of other membership duties within the past three years: pending complaints alleging violations of the Code of Ethics or alleging
violations of other membership duties: incomplete or pending disciplinary measures; pending arbitration requests; and information related to
unpaid arbitration awards or unpaid financial obligations to RASM or its MLS.
I acknowledge that if I subsequently resign from the Association or otherwise cause my membership to terminate with an ethics complaint
pending, the Association may condition renewal of membership upon my certification that I will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and
will abide by the decision of the Hearing Panel. If I resign or otherwise cause membership to terminate, the duty to submit arbitration
continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while I was a REALTOR®
