2. What is an Association of Realtors?
• Realtor is the trademark of the National Association of Realtors.
Anyone who desires to be a member of the Association of
Realtors must first be a member of NAR. This gives them the
right to use the trademark name.

3. What is a Real Estate Association?
Anyone can get a license to sell real estate from their
perspective state, as long as they pass that state exam and
meet its requirements. They then get a license that says that
they are licensed real estate agents.
As a licensed real estate agent the person can join a real
estate association. A REALTOR can join a real estate
association and an association of Realtors. One of the
advantages of the real estate association is that any community
member can join the association i.e.. Plumbers, appraisers,
bankers, and home inspectors.

4. What are we?
NEMREA is a real estate association, but it is also much more
than that. Its purpose is not only to make available the services to
real estate agents and brokers that real estate associations typically
provide, but also to benefit everyone who is directly or even indirectly
associated with real estate. It serves as a platform from which area
professionals can make contact with like-minded individuals, serve
on committees of interest, and develop personal and business
relationships, as well as upload their company information onto the
association website at no cost.
What is more, NEMREA is a community oriented association. At
the core of its foundation is the conviction that the strength of a
society is generated from the synergism of its citizens – that
collectively they are able to do more to benefit the community than
the total of what each can do individually.

5. What does NEMREA do for
Real Estate Agents?
NEMREA is one of a national family of associations that is committed to provide its
members the widest range of services of any association anywhere for fees amounting to
about 1/10 those of other associations. It was designed to provide:
1. Top-Notch Education
• Members can earn their designations as well as fulfill their continuing
education requirements.
• Classes are made available for those who wish to become Real Estate
Agents.
• Tools to its members that give them a distinct advantage over members of other
associations.
• Political representation for its members by being active in governmental affairs &
the Chamber of Commerce
• Maintenance of a strong presence in the community by projecting a positive
image and strong community awareness.
• Advertising and promotions of the association in order to gain members, grow
stronger, and offer more benefits to its members.
• The long over-due paradigm shift in a profession that has been reluctant to
embrace needed changes.

7. What is US MLO ?
• USMLO is the U.S. Multi-Listing Organization. MLO provides the
needed technical expertise in managing listing data for its affiliate
associations. It differs from the MLS’s inasmuch as it utilizes a single
listing database thus giving national exposure to all properties uploaded
by member agents. The MLO’s are also community driven. That is,
their profits are returned to the communities by its owners for purposes
deemed most likely to reflect the attitudes and civic passions of the
association members.

8. Welcome to AdvantageML, real
estate’s premier data service
under exclusive contract with
NE Michigan MLO family of
associations.

9. What is
AdvantageML?
Advantage ML is the database used exclusively by
the US Multi-Listing Organization’s affiliate
associations. Because of its wide array of search
features it is poised to be the real estate buyer’s site
of choice. The tools that it provides to affiliate
association members greatly surpass those of any
other real estate or realtor association.

10. We’re Synergistic
These three entities are each the premier among those of their
kind. Together they combine to impart a level of services far
superior to what is made available by the multitude of MLS’s
and the associations they partner with. The fact that these three
together are able to duplicate the services of the realtor
associations and also provide the additional services they do for
but a fraction of the cost of all the other associations is a
testimony to the fulfillment of their developers’ commitment to
provide to real estate professionals the highest level of services
attainable for the lowest possible price.
