C. Authorization to release and use information and waiver: I am familiar with the Qualification and Election
Provisions and the Bylaws of NABOR. I allow verifying information in this application, including contacting any
Board/Association, the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, and any current or past broker or business associates. I further
authorize any Board/Association in which I have been a member/subscriber to release all membership and disciplinary
records to the Northshore Area Board of REALTORS®. I further authorize NABOR to use this information in
determining future disciplinary sanctions. I waive any cause of action including, but not limited to, slander, libel or
defamation of character, resulting from such verification, evaluation or other processing of this application or use of the
information gathered by NABOR and its agents.

so will result in your association membership considered not in good standing. MLS service may be denied and/or
interrupted for all members not currently in good standing. I understand there may be late fees assessed.

COMMUNICATIONS:
I authorize NABOR or other Divisions or Councils, which I may subscribe as a member to communicate information

is the agent’s responsibility to provide NABOR immediate written notice of any changes in their broker affiliation
and/or personal contact information so your profile remains current and allows timely communication with you.
