Become an SCR Member

SCR membership is open to anyone who spends a substantial amount of time engaged in sales, leases, exchanges, appraisals, management, consultations or other professional activities related to commercial or investment properties.

All commercial real estate practitioners interested in becoming members of SCR must have brokers who are members of the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS^®. If this has occurred, the practitioner may apply for SCR membership but must become a member of GFWAR first. Once a member of GFWAR, the applicant is able to become a member of SCR as long as he or she is in good standing with GFWAR.

Becoming a Member of GFWAR

The procedure for becoming a REALTOR^® member of SCR (if not already a member of GFWAR) starts with becoming a member of GFWAR. The first step is to determine that a license is active on the TREC Web site. To check this, go to www.trec.state.tx.us and click on Licensee Info Search.

Next, a new member appointment should be scheduled with GFWAR. New member appointments are sessions in which a GFWAR staff member meets one-on-one with a new member to set up that person’s account and give a brief overview of GFWAR. New member appointments generally last about 45 minutes. To sign-up for a new member appointment, notify GFWAR by calling 817-336-5165 or click the button below.

Schedule a New Member Appointment

GFWAR requires that all those interested in membership submit an application. GFWAR recommends that applications are completed beforehand and brought with the applicant, but if this is inconvenient, applications can be filled out at the Association immediately before the new member appointment.

Applicants need to bring a copy of their current license to the new member appointment. Dues for REALTOR^® membership are paid at that time and may be paid by check, MasterCard, American Express, VISA, Discover or in cash.

While at the new member appointment, new members must sign up for a New Member Orientation and an MLS training class (if planning to use MLS services). Day-long orientations occur once every two months and are required for every new REALTOR^® member. Rules and regulations, professional standards and GFWAR procedure are discussed. In addition, one MLS class is required for all new MLS users, and is a hands-on, two-hour training class that gives the new MLS user an in-depth overview of the MLS system and important rules and regulations.

Becoming a Member of SCR

After becoming a GFWAR member, SCR requires that an application of membership be submitted for approval by the SCR Board of Governors. Applicants should fill out an SCR application and submit it to GFWAR with $65 (in the form of check, cash, VISA, American Express, MasterCard, Discover or a money order) for payment of SCR dues.

SCR Application

Applicants may request appointments with GFWAR staff members to discuss becoming an SCR member, or they can just submit an application and payment to SCR. Once the SCR Board of Governors has approved an applicant for membership, a member of the Board will contact new members with the news.
