PHASE 2
Getting settled in & passwords
Set an appointment with the Office Coordinator to familiarize the associate with office tools, staff.
You are going to be setting up a lot of accounts with passwords. It’s a good idea to start a record of these as you obtain them. We suggest getting some sort of password keeper. A logbook that logs or an online password manager.
You should have received an office key, printer key fob, wireless internet passwords, AND be given an office tour. Check with your IT contact or office coordinator about the procedure for connecting your personal laptop to office printers.

Joining the Northwest Arkansas Board of REALTORS®
Joining NABOR is a very exciting and important piece of your Onboarding map. Please pay close attention to this process. There is a particular order that must be followed, and time constraints involved.
When you meet with your Office Managing Broker, you will bring your testing scorecard for your Broker to sign. Once your scorecard is signed by the Broker you are now eligible to apply for membership to NABOR. An online application is available at www.nwarealtors.org, then click "Apply for Membership " (new applicants will not have a license number yet, so put a 0 in the license number field.
As soon as your real estate license is processed and issued by the AREC items #2, 3, and 4 below must be completed within a 30-day window, the 30-day clock starts ticking from the date on your license.
You should have already completed your online NABOR application. If so, when the AREC issues your active Real Estate license, the Board receives notification from AREC. They will then email you that it is now time for you to complete your online Ethics course. Your Managing Broker will also reach out to you to let you know your license has arrived, and remind you to complete your Ethics course.
Next, after completion of Ethics, a New Member Coordinator will call you to inform you about the New Member Appointment which is typically held each Wednesday at NABOR.
During your New Member appointment, a brief 30 minutes at the NABOR office, be prepared to pay your dues, which are prorated (chart below). When you leave you will have a working keycard, MLS subscription, and access to all REALTOR® privileges and services!
Please note: If you have not joined within 30 days from licensure, the Broker will receive a non-member assessment for your dues and fees.
You will also be scheduled to attend a New Member Orientation class within 60 days of joining the Board.
For "New Member Orientation Resources" you can download from their website under "Files for Download" after joining.
You will receive information on how to access Real Estate Contracts via ARA.formsimplicity.com
