Membership Policies
The membership application process for REALTOR® members as established by the Directors is as follows:
Processing the application of a designated REALTOR® is as follows:
Within the first three (3) months of filing the application and non- refundable application fee, the Applicant shall be required to complete, in any order, three new member requirements. New member requirements are (1) take the Greater Nashville REALTORS® New Member Orientation course in the Greater Nashville REALTORS® classroom or virtually, (2) complete an approved Code of Ethics class, either in the Greater Nashville REALTORS® classroom, virtually or online at the National Association of REALTORS® website and (3) complete an approved Fair Housing course either in the Greater Nashville REALTORS® classroom, virtually or online at the National Association of REALTORS® website. If the Applicant fails to meet these requirements, the application will be terminated. If the agent wishes to affiliate with the Association at a later date, he or she will be required to begin the process again, including filing a new application and paying the application fee again.
Requested local dues refund will be given if a new member is ineligible for membership with Greater Nashville REALTORS® and has held membership with Greater Nashville REALTORS® for 10 business days or less. Proof of ineligibility required. Documentation must be submitted to the Membership Department. After 10 business days no refunds will be given.
If a REALTOR® is simply transferring his/her primary membership from another Association and has previously been through that Association’s Orientation course, has been a continuous member in good standing, and can furnish a letter of good standing from their previous Association, then the application fee and orientation course will be waived. If a REALTOR® is transferring from another Association due to a change of office or broker, the transfer must be made within 30 days of the change in order to retain REALTOR® membership and receive the waiver of application fee and new member requirements.
If an applicant is a former Greater Nashville REALTORS® member in good standing who held membership with Greater Nashville REALTORS® for at least three years and is now reactivating his/her license and wishes to rejoin Greater Nashville REALTORS®, the licensee may do so within 5 years of inactivating without paying the application fee. The necessary new member requirements will remain.
If a REALTOR® transfers from one member company to another, the Board charges a transfer fee of $10.00 (waived).
If a Designated REALTOR® closes his/her firm, the agents affiliated with the firm will not be charged a transfer fee if they transfer to a firm within the Association’s membership within thirty (30) days after the date the firm closed.
If a REALTOR® must leave a firm because of circumstances beyond his/her control (illness, death in the immediate family, etc.) he/she will not be charged a transfer fee if he/she affiliates himself/herself with a Designated REALTOR® within thirty (30) days after leaving the firm.
If a Designated REALTOR® merges his/her firm with a firm of another Designated REALTOR®, the agents affiliated with the firms will not be charged a transfer fee. Any agents who elect to affiliate with a firm other than the merging firms will not be charged a transfer fee if they notify the Association within thirty (30) days of the date of the merger that their license has been placed with a firm within the Greater Nashville REALTORS® Association.
The Reinstatement Policy is as follows for both REALTOR® and affiliate members:
For a person who has not been a member of the Association for less than one (1) year:
For a person who has not been a member for one (1) year or more:
Brokers are required to notify the Association in writing regarding any changes in the company or in the status of their agents. This includes new agents joining the company, agents leaving the company, and any broker changes. If the broker does not notify the Association within thirty (30) days of an agent’s status change, the broker is subject to a fine of $100.00.
Greater Nashville REALTORS® does not fix, control, recommend, suggest or maintain commission rates or fees for services to be rendered by members or any percentage of division of commissions or fees between cooperating members or non-members. Therefore, there shall be no discussion at any time by the Board of Directors, committees or staff of Greater Nashville REALTORS® concerning these matters as described. It is recommended to Association members that no discussion of these matters take place in any group meetings of Association members even when such a meeting is not connected, in any manner, with the Greater Nashville REALTORS®. Antitrust information shall be shared at the first meeting of the Board of Directors annually, each committee meeting and new member orientations.
Introduction
Greater Nashville REALTORS® (Association) has adopted a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination and all forms of unlawful harassment, including but not limited to sexual harassment, and other forms of behavior defined below. This zero tolerance policy means that no form of unlawful discriminatory or harassing conduct by or towards any employee, member, vendor, or other person in our workplace, jobsites, and/or events will be tolerated. Intimidating, threatening or excessively rude communication and actions toward Association staff is also specifically prohibited. The Association is committed to enforcing its policy at all levels within the Association. Any officer, director, appointed committee chair, manager, supervisor, member or employee who engages in prohibited discrimination or harassment will be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate discharge from employment or removal from leadership or membership for a first offense.
Conduct Covered
This policy applies to and prohibits all forms of illegal harassment and discrimination, not only sexual harassment. Accordingly, the Association absolutely prohibits harassment or discrimination based on sex, age, disability, perceived disability, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, color, religion, national origin, veteran status or any other legally protected characteristic. Intimidating, threatening or excessively rude communication and actions toward Association staff is also specifically prohibited.
Sexual Harassment
Because confusion often arises concerning the meaning of sexual harassment in particular, it deserves special mention. The following applies to employees, volunteer leaders as well as all members of the association. Sexual harassment may take many forms, including the following:
Offensive and unwelcome sexual invitations, whether or not the employee submits to the invitation, and particularly when a spoken or implied quid pro quo for sexual favors is a benefit of employment or continued employment;
Offensive and unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, including sexually graphic spoken comments; offensive comments transmitted by e-mail or another messaging system; offensive or suggestive images or graphics whether physically present in the workplace or accessed over the Internet; or the possession of or use of sexually suggestive objects; and
Offensive and unwelcome physical contact of a sexual nature, including the touching of another’s body; the touching or display of one’s own body, or any similar contact.
Computer Messaging and Information Systems
Employees, association volunteer members and members are particularly cautioned that the use of e-mail, voice mail, or other electronic messaging systems, or the Internet, may give rise to liability for harassment.
Employees, association volunteer members and members may not generate, should not receive, and must not forward, any message or graphic that might be taken as offensive based on sex, gender, or other protected characteristic. This includes, for example, the generation or forwarding of offensive “humor” which contains offensive terms.
Employees receiving offensive messages over the Association’s computer equipment, or receiving other unlawfully offensive messages or graphics over the Association’s computer equipment, should report those messages to their supervisor or other appropriate manager. Employees are reminded that the Association’s computers and the data generated on, stored in, or transmitted to or from the Association’s computers remain the property of the Association for all purposes. The Association retains the right to monitor its computers, computer systems, and networks to ensure compliance with this requirement.
Association volunteers and members receiving offensive messages over the Association’s computer equipment, or receiving other unlawfully offensive messages or graphics over the Association’s computer equipment, should report those messages to the CEO, Board President and/or association general counsel. Association volunteers and members are reminded that the Association’s computers and the data generated on, stored in, or transmitted to or from the Association’s computers remain the property of the Association for all purposes. The Association retains the right to monitor its computers, computer systems, and networks to ensure compliance with this requirement.
Reporting Procedures
Any Association employee who believes that she or he has been subjected to unlawful harassment, discrimination or sexual harassment of any kind has the responsibility to report the prohibited behavior immediately to her or his supervisor. If the employee is uncomfortable reporting the harassment to her or his immediate supervisor (whether because the supervisor has committed the harassment, or for any other reason whatsoever), the employee must report the harassment to the next higher level of management above the immediate supervisor or, if the employee prefers, to the CEO or Board President.
Any Association volunteer member or member who believes that she or he has been subjected to unlawful harassment, discrimination or sexual harassment of any kind during volunteer work or attending sponsored events with Greater Nashville REALTORS® has the responsibility to report the harassment immediately to the Board President or CEO. If it is the Board President or CEO who is being reported for the prohibited behavior, they should report the harassment, discrimination or sexual harassment to the next highest ranking volunteer member or the association general counsel.
The Association is committed to taking all reasonable steps to prevent harassment, discrimination or sexual harassment and will make every reasonable effort promptly and completely to address and correct any harassment that may occur. However, the Association cannot take prompt and effective remedial action unless each employee or volunteer member assumes the responsibility of reporting any incident of harassment immediately to an appropriate supervisory employee or appropriate person within the association. The Association will provide training on no less than an annual basis to staff, officers and directors, and volunteer members on this issue.
Every report of harassment, discrimination or sexual harassment will be investigated promptly and impartially, with every effort to maintain employee and volunteer or member confidentiality. The complainant and the accused will be informed of the results of the investigation. If the Association finds that its policy has been violated, it will take appropriate corrective and remedial action, up to and including discharge of offending officers or employees, and/or similarly appropriate action towards offending vendors, contractors, or members. Action against members may include discipline up to expulsion from membership. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, in conjunction with the General Counsel, will make the final determination concerning the imposition of discipline.
Reporting Without Fear of Retaliation
No Association employee will be retaliated against for reporting harassment. This no-retaliation policy applies whether a good faith complaint of harassment is well founded or ultimately determined to be unfounded.
No Association officer, director, manager, supervisor or member is authorized, or permitted, to retaliate or to take any adverse employment action whatsoever against anyone for reporting unlawful harassment, or for opposing any other discriminatory practice in the workplace.
The protection of confidentiality of information of the Greater Nashville REALTORS®, its members, and the public is the collective responsibility of the leadership of the Association and its appropriate committees and staff. The Association serves as a champion and guardian of the rights of property owners; therefore, all presiding officers of the governing body and of all committees should be especially sensitive as to what constitutes confidentially.
CONFIDENTIALY OF MEMBERSHIP FILES. Information in the membership files maintained by the Association shall be deemed confidential and shall not be made available to members or others except to the extent required for proper administration of the Association, and then only upon authorization by the Association Executive. Any member may review his or her own file. The association will not make available the membership database (e.g. email addresses) of members to anyone including other members.
The Tennessee Real Estate Commission requires all agents to use the name as it appears on their license for advertising and educational reporting. As such, Greater Nashville REALTORS® will only list members by their formal license name in the membership database.
No provision will be made for the use of nicknames, initials or other forms of recognition. Using this standard for all REALTOR® Association (local, state and national) and TREC records and communication will make all data consistent and eliminate duplication and inaccuracy.

Association Information for Designated REALTORS®
As a Designated REALTOR®, you are responsible for the licensed agents affiliated with your office. The information provided here is designed to make you aware of the responsibilities you have to the Association in relation to the membership and the Greater Nashville REALTORS® Membership policy.
Greater Nashville REALTORS® Membership
Greater Nashville REALTORS® Membership is broken into five classifications:
Defining Board of Choice
The Board of choice concept allows REALTORS® to choose the Board to which they want to belong. This is based on the benefits they decide are most important to them instead od being limited by office location or jurisdiction. Once an agent has established a primary membership, secondary membership can be held in one or more other Boards or Associations.
A REALTOR® may designate one local Board of Association as “primary” if the individual pays state and national dues through that Board or Association. The Designated REALTOR® must be a member of the Association in order for licensees affiliated with the company to select the Association/Board as “primary”.
Broker Membership Responsibility
New agents
Greater Nashville REALTORS® requires a completed TREC-1 form to be submitted within 30 days of a licensee joining an office. If a broker does not notify the Association with 30 days of an agent’s arrival, the broker is subject to a $100 non-reporting fine.
New agents who intend to join Greater Nashville REALTORS® need to submit a completed membership application along with the $200 application fee and applicable membership dues, as well as complete the Greater Nashville REALTORS® Orientation class, take Code of Ethics and Fair Housing within the first 90 days of membership.
Transferring & Change of Status Agents
Brokers are required to notify the Association in writing when an agent transfers to another company or makes a change to their license status. Greater Nashville REALTORS® requires a completed TREC-1 form be submitted within 30 days of a licensee departing an office. If a broker does not notify the Association within 30 days of an agent’s departure or change in status, the broker is subject to a $100 non-reporting fine. Greater Nashville REALTORS® will follow-up with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission for verification.
Change of Office Information
Written notification, via a TREC-2 form of a change in company address, telephone, and office name are required. This also includes any changes in principal broker. For a change in broker, written notice via the TREC-1 form is also required.
Non-Member sales Agents
If a licensee does not join the Association as a REALTOR® member, the agent is considered to be a Non-Member Sales Agent, and the broker will be invoiced for the assessment associated with the agent. Non-Member Sales Agents receive no benefits or services. If the broker does not pay the non-member dues assessment and the licensee chooses not to join, the broker will experience loss of Greater Nashville REALTORS® membership and REALTOR® discounted pricing to the MLS service due to non-payment. If the broker’s membership is lost, all agents in the office also lose membership.
Greater Nashville REALTORS® “Alumni Rule”
If an applicant is a former Greater Nashville REALTORS® member who was a member in good standing for at least three consecutive years and is now reactivating their license and wishes to join the association, the licensee may do so within 5 years of inactivating their license without paying the application or reinstatement fee. The necessary Orientation and Code of Ethics and Fair Housing requirements will remain.
A note about Transferring Agents Who Are REALTORS® with Another Association
As long as the licensee is transferring as a REALTOR® member in good standing from another association, the application fee and Greater Nashville REALTORS® New Member requirements are waived. The agent however must submit a completed application and pay applicable local dues. If transferring from another state they will pay applicable local and state dues. A letter of good standing from the original association is also required.
As the broker of your office you have a responsibility to report to your primary REALTOR® association all new licensees that join your firm. This should take place within 30 days.
Greater Nashville REALTORS® will need the following information on the new agent:
Name of new agent
License number
Email address
Greater Nashville REALTORS® values your membership and the REALTOR® membership of the agents within your firm. We wanted to bring to your attention some of the great features you have access to in your Greater Nashville REALTORS® member portal. These features will help you manage your roster and keep track of your agent’s NAR education requirements and annual dues renewal.
As the broker you have access to login to your member portal and view the office roster. The login information is the same information that you have always had so there is not a new username and password.
If you do not know your username and password please contact the association at 615-254-7516 and we will be happy to provide that to you. If you have an office manager you can let us know their name and email and we can give them the same online privileges to view the office account.
Below you will find information on broker access to the office account. Once you have logged in to your member portal you will see the office information.
Update office profile
This shows you the office M1 ID and license number. If you need to make address changes you will first fill out a TREC-2 form with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission and then email us a copy. Only staff at Greater Nashville REALTORS® can make updates to office addresses.
Manage Agents
This brings up a list of agents currently on your roster. It includes the agent’s M1 ID, COE completion, and Orientation date. When you click on the agent’s name it will bring up their office information and cell number.
Pay agent orders
This feature will bring up a list of agents on your roster that have outstanding orders with Greater Nashville REALTORS®. Annual dues for the upcoming year will be available in your agent’s member portal July 1. The list will include outstanding REALTOR® dues orders and outstanding non-member assessment fees. If there are outstanding orders a list of agent’s names along with the amount due will be listed. From here you can select the agent/agents and pay their orders for them or you can email them a reminder. Keep in mind if you are emailing reminders and select multiple agents then all of the agents selected can see the email address of the others that were selected. One thing to note is once an agent has been terminated from membership because of an outstanding balance they will not be listed under pay agent orders. This list only includes active members. Best measure would be contacting the association to make sure there are no outstanding orders associated with the office.
Once an agent has joined Greater Nashville REALTORS®, new members will want to visit the following Associations and set up their accounts. They will need their M1 ID. To find their M1 ID click here.

National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual
The purpose of the Greater Nashville REALTORS® Ambassador Program is to provide better communication with our members. The association has grown rapidly, and we all know you can never over-communicate in this fast-past world. Our members are busy, and our association has lots going on and many opportunities for members to engage.
We ask that each Ambassador help us communicate about association activities and encourage our members to engage in those activities. We also want them to communicate back to us anything your firm has going on as well.
We will provide the details for them to share on a regular basis and we ask them to share at your firm’s agent meetings or any other way you see fit. Their service will be for one year, but there is no limit if they would like to continue to serve in this capacity for multiple years. We will readdress each firm’s ambassador each year.

STATEMENT FROM NAR CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER CONCERNING DOJ STATEMENT OF INTEREST
Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed the attached Statement of Interest in the Nosalek v. MLS PIN, et al., which is a lawsuit challenging the rule and practice of cooperative compensation between listing and buyer brokers. MLS PIN is not wholly owned by REALTOR® associations and therefore is not required to follow NAR's MLS guidelines. MLS PIN does, however, have a rule that requires listing brokers to make an offer of compensation to buyer brokers. To be clear, the DOJ does not have veto rights over class-action settlements, so the court can still approve the settlement over the DOJ's objection.
The DOJ's submission is a broadside attack on how homes have been bought and sold in the United States for decades. Specifically, the DOJ argues that listing brokers and sellers should be prohibited from offering compensation to buyer brokers, thereby seeking to eliminate the choice sellers and listing brokers currently have as to whether to offer compensation for buyer representation.
This shows, as NAR has long said, that the DOJ wants to regulate what sellers and their listing agents are allowed to do with their own money and homes. We believe the DOJ is wrong and that the government fundamentally misunderstands the market. Prohibiting offers of compensation will harm consumers, including by making it more costly for home buyers to access capable representation and by reducing fair access to housing. Notably, the DOJ does not provide any new or original analysis to support its opinion-it merely wants to substitute its own policy judgments for how the market has evolved through free market competition to best serve consumers. The DOJ's proposal would also invalidate the numerous state statutes which explicitly permit offers of compensation to buyer brokers.
For years, NAR has advised members, MLSs, and corporate defendants that the DOJ seeks relief beyond the rule changes proposed in the MLS PIN settlement and summarized below. As illustrated in this Statement of Interest, the DOJ's ideas are short-sighted and overly simplistic. They ignore harms that will result to homebuyers - especially first-time, low-income, minority, or veteran homebuyers - and gamble with the American economy.
These are challenging times, and NAR has the unique responsibility to consider these issues holistically, taking into account the complexities involved in how consumers buy and sell homes. The tough decisions NAR has made regarding the rule and litigation strategy are based on the insights we have concerning the views of all of stakeholders, and we remain steadfast in our resolve to protect free market competition and promote fair access to home ownership for all Americans.
I've provided high-level takeaways from DOJ's submission below, but I encourage you to read the document in its entirety. As you will see, it shows that the DOJ's focus is on the practice of how sellers and their brokers advertise their homes in the free-market - which goes beyond the scope of NAR and its model rule. Additionally, while NAR is not a party to this litigation, the DOJ's position in this case is relevant to how NAR, MLSs, buyers, sellers, and brokers address cooperative compensation now and in the future. We will continue to work, in and out of court, toward the best possible outcome for property owners in America and the professionals who represent them.

To transfer an agent in or out of your firm you must submit a TREC-1 form to the Tennessee Real Estate Commission along with a $25 payment. Be sure to make a copy of the TREC-1 form and email it to membership@greaternashvillerealtors.org . You can find a copy of the TREC-1 form below.
CE history is stored in a licensee's CE Broker account HERE. CE Broker is a third-party application used by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC). Licensees must create a CE Broker account to view their CE history. CE Broker offers three different subscription plans: Basic, Professional, and Concierge. The main difference between the Basic and Professional plans is that the Professional plan displays a visual tracking bar so a licensee may see their progress. Please note, if the Basic plan is selected, CE Broker will continually promote a 7-day free trial to upgrade to the Professional plan.
Only licensees may view their CE history in CE Broker. Neither brokers nor Greater Nashville REALTORS® have access to a licensee’s CE history or CE Broker account. In addition, since CE Broker is a stand-alone, third-party application, Greater Nashville REALTORS® can not assist with login assistance or resetting passwords.
Once you login to your CE Broker account, you will need to calculate how many hours you have completed. TREC requires 16 hours of continuing education to renew your license, and 6 of those hours must be TREC Core. The remaining 10 hours are electives.
To calculate your hours, start with the date that your license term began and count how many CE hours you have completed since then. CE Broker refers to the two-year license term as your CE Cycle. If you need assistance, you may download and email a PDF of your CE history to education@greaternashvillerealtors.org. To download a PDF of your CE history from CE Broker, select the Download PDF Report button that is on the right side of the CE Broker webpage under Course History.
The end of your license term is your renewal date. It is crucial that licensees know your license renewal date. You must complete your continuing education requirement and renew your license before your renewal date to avoid your license becoming expired. Members with expired licenses will have their membership terminated, which will result in losing access to Realtracs and TransactionDesk.
