Why Join SCR?
The Society of
Commercial REALTORS® (SCR) is an organization of
commercial real estate professionals in Tarrant County and
surrounding areas that operates independently and under the
auspices of the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®. SCR has its own governing body and bylaws, and its chief
mission is to advance knowledge, education and integrity in the
fields of commercial and investment real estate.
SCR provides a number of benefits for its members that include:
-
Education –
Offering commercial MCE classes, designation courses, and
technology and industry updates, SCR is on the forefront of
providing its members the tools needed to stay competitive
within the ever-changing field of commercial real estate.
-
Governmental Affairs – Monitoring issues that affect
commercial real estate on the local, state and national
levels, SCR lobbies for positive legislation and works to
defend its members from legislation that might have negative
effects on the commercial real estate industry.
-
Exposure –
SCR offers commercial practitioners a broad range of
opportunities to market properties at its monthly breakfast
meetings and marketing sessions.
-
Networking
– SCR is one of the few organizations in Tarrant
County where commercial real estate professionals can
network specifically with other commercial practitioners,
opening doors to deal making opportunities.
-
REALTOR®
Name – Because SCR is under the umbrella of GFWAR, its members adhere to
the ethical and professional standards that all REALTOR®
members follow. Therefore, the REALTOR® name
gives credibility and accountability to all SCR
members.
-
Professional Development – With opportunities available to
serve on committees and on the Board of Governors, SCR provides its members a means to develop their
leadership and professional skills. In addition, awards of
merit are given to those members who exemplify these skills.
GFWAR also offers professional development opportunities to
prepare members for leadership not only on the local level,
but on the state and national levels as well.
-
Cost Break
– SCR members receive admission to monthly breakfast
meetings, installations and various other events at a
reduced fee. In addition, SCR
offers price reductions for SCR sponsored classes and
merchandise from the REALTOR® store.
-
Professional Standards – Since all REALTORS® must
adhere to the NAR Code of Ethics, it’s the duty of GFWAR to
educate its members regarding this ethical code and
administer a course of action to those who do not comply.
SCR falls under this standard, keeping a little “law and
order” among practitioners.
-
REALTOR®
Benefits – Members of SCR receive REALTOR® benefits such as
free legal consultation and advice, marketing tools, entry
into discount programs and forms and contracts provided by
NAR and TAR.
