Inflation's everywhere, but your ACAR dues won't be going up! 🙌
What a nice surprise that our local, Ohio and NAR dues haven't done what everything else has done this year.📈
I would like to point out, as your President-Elect for 2027, what your $275 a year for the Akron Cleveland Association of REALTORS® covers. Maybe no one has shown that off. So we will highlight the important stuff 👇

🛡️ Did you know FOREWARN alone is a $300 a year value, and ACAR pays for it for you? Vet your prospects before you ever meet them at a showing and see who is calling you at the other end of the phone so you can be vigilant about SAFETY FIRST!
🎓 Did you know you can get up to $500 back through the Harold L. Klarreich Scholarship when you take an NAR designation or certification course? Hello, fancy letters after your name!
🤝 Did you know we're the ONLY board in Ohio with FREE mediation through Professional Standards and Grievance? That saves you money, travel, lawyers, and a trip to Columbus to hear your case (something NONE OF US want to deal with!)
⚖️ Need arbitration? It's just $300, and if you win, you get it back. We are the ONLY BOARD who offers this at the local level in Northeast Ohio
Advocacy, that PAYS YOU..literally!
Ohio's Business Income Deduction - secured through RPAC—puts thousands of dollars in your pocket every year.
The Ohio Business Income Deduction covers up to $250,000 of eligible business income. Why do you get a state tax refund? It's because of the work Advocacy does to protect and promote the real estate industry and your status as an independent contractor! Add in ACAR's education, monthly market updates, networking events, local advocacy (like ACAR helping end Cleveland's exterior point of sale inspections on vacant homes this year), and so much more, and your $275 goes a LONG way!
From Cuyahoga to Summit to Portage County, your local association is working for you every single day here in Northeast Ohio. Take a few minutes to read up on everything ACAR offers... You might be surprised! 💙💚
