REALTOR® Membership

REALTOR® membership is three-tiered. Members belong, not only to our local association, but to Illinois REALTORS and National Association of REALTORS® as well. As a member of these associations, you have the privilege of using the trusted and well known REALTOR® name! Find out below which membership is right for you.

Types of MIRA REALTOR® Membership

REALTORS® (or Brokers) – PRIMARY MEMBERSHIP

A licensed Real Estate Broker who wants to join MIRA must be sponsored by a member of MIRA. A broker cannot join MIRA unless their managing broker belongs to MIRA. A broker wanting to join MIRA must complete a “REALTOR®” new member application signed by their managing broker along with a copy of their license (or 45-day permit sponsor card) and full payment of all applicable fees. You will pay local, state and national dues to MIRA as a primary member.

REALTORS® (or Brokers) – SECONDARY MEMBERSHIP

A licensed Real Estate Broker whose state and national dues are remitted through another Board join as secondary member of the MIRA. A broker wanting to join MIRA as a secondary member must complete a “REALTOR®” new member application signed by their managing broker along with a letter of good standing from their primary board, a copy of their license, and payment of all applicable fees.



MLS services will only be available if the Designated REALTOR® participates in the MLS.

MANAGING BROKERS – PRIMARY MEMBERSHIP

A licensed Real Estate Managing Broker who wants to join MIRA must complete a New Member Application along with a copy of their license and full payment of all applicable fees. A managing broker may be self-sponsored, or they may be the managing broker of a licensed office. If their firm has a name different from their own, they must also submit a copy of their office’s license or DBA/articles of incorporation from the Secretary of State’s office. A new office application along with payment of applicable fees, will also need to be completed, if the office is currently not a member of MIRA.

If the managing broker wishes to participate in the MLS ONLY, they must submit an MIRA participation form and payment of all applicable fees.

A licensed Real Estate Managing Broker who is not the managing broker of their sponsoring office has the same membership conditions as a broker (see above) and is considered a broker for membership purposes.

APPRAISER MEMBERSHIP

A licensed Real Estate Appraiser who wants to join MIRA must submit a completed primary membership application along with a copy of their license and full payment of all applicable fees.

MLS services will only be available if the principal, partner, corporate officer, or branch office manager acting on behalf of the principal participates in the MLS.

A new MIRA office application along with payment of applicable fees, will also need to be completed, if the office is currently not a member of MIRA.
