Charter Clash

A Battle Over Membership Models

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

December 26, 2024

📈 Market Move:

Bylaw Battle

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is moving to revoke Phoenix Realtors’ charter over a program called MLS Choice, which offers non-Realtors access to MLS services and other resources. NAR argues that MLS Choice violates their bylaws and threatens the value of membership, which includes perks like advocacy and a unified code of ethics. Phoenix Realtors contends that MLS Choice simply adds options, not replacements, for $249 a year—but users lose the “Realtor” label and key benefits. If Phoenix doesn’t comply, they face a formal review and potential charter loss, with their territory up for grabs. This showdown could set a precedent for the entire industry.

🎉 Fun Fact of the Day: 

The Most Vertical City: Hong Kong boasts the most skyscrapers of any city on Earth—over 9,000 buildings are 14 stories or taller. If you’re afraid of heights, this might not be the market for you.
