Realtor® Benefits

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Broadpoint Properties Cal BRE #01324959

Our life in urban America is all about the discount cards. You have a Costco card, a Petco card-practically every store has its own membership card for deeper discounts.

I went into the drugstore this morning (a national chain) to purchase a graduation card for the child of a friend, and the cashier asked me for my membership card. The card (a simple card with no bells and whistles) cost over $3.00. That's crazy--$3.00 for a piece of cardstock!

Anyway, not to get off of the subject, but every place has its member benefits. One set of member benefits that I hardly ever take advantage of are the Realtor® benefits.

Here are a few great Realtor® benefits that you might enjoy:

Electronic Signature Services "The National Association of REALTORS® has selected DocuSign® as the official and exclusive provider of electronic signature services to members under the REALTOR Benefits® Program. Members can now receive a 30-day risk free trial and 20% off the retail value of their DocuSign® subscription." (from a recent NAR email) This is a great deal as it seems everyone is going the way of the electronic signature.


10% Off Lowe's Coupon Realtors® can provide this coupon for 10% off at Lowe's as part of the closing package. Fore more information, go to https://www.lowesrealtorbenefits.com/ or call 1-888-913-6060 and mention your 9-digit NRDS I.D. number.

There are a whole bunch of additional benefits available to Realtors®. Click to view a booklet that includes all of the Realtor® benefits.

Melissa; The Lowes program is awesome. You don't need a closing, you can sign up any buyer or seller prospect for the direct mail. Helps to seal the deal sometimes.

Melissa,

While I have not taken on a referral form the Lowes coupons......I get comments all the time how nice it is that I thought of them.....it is a program that will benefit me in the future.
