Osceola ReVIEW - February 2009 - (Page 5) Association Executive Perspective By Jeri Peyton WHAT ARE YOUR BENEFITS AS AN OSCAR MEMBER? Since we have just completed our membership renewal period at the Association, I thought this would be a good time to refresh our members on the benefits they receive as members of The Osceola County Association of REALTORS® (OSCAR). We provide our members with the tools to help you become successful in your businesses. Our members receive much more information and assistance than the standard real estate licensee. When you become a member of OSCAR, you have entered a new level of your profession as recognized by the public nationwide. Our local Association networking, benefits and services provide you with the tools to more efficiently and professionally serve your client’s needs, which equates to greater success in your real estate career. As a REALTOR®, you will be a step above and distinguished from other real estate licensees by pledging and adhering to a strict Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is universally recognized as the measure of professionalism in real estate and describes the optimum performance the public has the right to expect and makes that performance the norm for REALTORS®. REALTORS® also agree to binding arbitration at the local level when disputes between REALTORS® associated with different firms, arising out of their relationship as REALTORS®, submit the dispute in accordance with the local Association regulations. And, only through membership can a real estate licensee use the trademark “REALTOR®” designation and nationally recognized logo. By joining OSCAR at the local level gives you state and national REALTOR® membership as well, allowing you the opportunity to utilize a wide variety of services and benefits offered at three levels. At the National level (National Association of REALTORS® - NAR), you’ll find a vast selection of retirement, life, health, national advertising exposure among other benefits. At the State level (the Florida Association of REALTORS® FAR) offers, among other services, free legal and technology hotlines, free online forms and contracts, and a free personal web page for advertising on The Florida Living Network (http:// fl.living.net).
