Become a NWAR REALTOR or Affiliate Member
ALREADY A REALTOR? If you are already a REALTOR in good standing with another local association and wish to access Greater Northwoods MLS, CLICK HERE for details about GNMLS Membership. NWAR Membership is NOT required for existing REALTORS to join GNMLS.
NWAR REALTOR Membership:
Before proceeding with the steps to join the Northwoods Association of REALTORS®, you must have a valid real estate or appraisal license; we cannot process any applications without proof of your active license. For details about how to complete the required training and testing to become a licensed salesperson or broker, please visit WRA.org and go to Education -> Careers. Deeply discounted online pre-license education courses are available through NWAR - contact us at 715-356-3400 for more information.
Once you have an active real estate license number, you may proceed with the following steps:
- If you are working for a broker/firm, confirm that your broker has sent in your Notice of Real Estate Employment Form (#812) (and $10 fee) to the Wisconsin DSPS.
- Complete the NWAR Membership Application (PDF) and view the REALTOR Membership dues table below to determine your dues total according to the month your license was registered with your firm/broker, which you can determine by looking up your license on the DSPS website - start date shown under "Relationships" tab.
- NOTE: Annual membership renewal statements are mailed in September each year. If you are joining NWAR in September or later, note that you will be mailed a renewal statement for the following year soon after joining.
- NWAR initiation fee waived for existing REALTORS in good standing who transfer into or join NWAR as a secondary association. Applicable WRA and/or NAR fees are also waived if already paid for the present year through another local association.
- Return the completed NWAR Membership Application with payment (check or money order), a copy of the Notice of Real Estate Employment Form (#812) signed by your broker, and (if applicable) a letter of good standing from your current local association to:
Northwoods Association of REALTORS (or "NWAR")
PO Box 377
Woodruff, WI 54568
Fax: 888-399-2118
- Please be aware that there are no refunds for dues once you have been accepted as a Member.
- NWAR staff will contact you with your NAR ID (aka NRDS ID) number, MLS ID, and instructions to register with NAR, WRA, zipForm and (if applicable) SentriLock.
- TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: New NWAR REALTOR Members must complete the following within 90 days or as noted:

You may instead opt to be inducted during a monthly board meeting (live, phone or virtual) but would forfeit the free dinner - waived for existing REALTORS in good standing
