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.
