I have my license now what?

All three levels of the REALTOR® organization - local, state, and national - are here to help you succeed as a real estate professional. Becoming a member of the Aiken Association of REALTORS® is quick and simple and delivers a multitude of benefits for all those involved in the real estate industry.
How do I become a member?
