Introducing a Local Board of REALTORS
Dedicated Exclusively to Commercial Real Estate
 Chartered in 1995, as a commercial overlay board, the New York State Commercial Association of REALTORS® is a specialty local board of REALTORS® with statewide jurisdiction.
NYSCAR was formed by commercial practitioners who had a vision of a board of REALTORS® dedicated specifically to commercial issues. In succeeding years, NYSCAR has implemented that vision by creating opportunities for members to enhance their professional education, to network with colleagues across the state, and to market commercial property in statewide forums.
Membership in the New York State Commercial Association of REALTORS®, Inc. is an investment in your career and your profession. The association gives members a key for successful sales through increased professional contacts, advanced continuing education courses and much more.
NYSCAR membership has grown to 702 at the beginning of 2008. The Association is

Frequently Asked Questions
about NYSCAR Membership
1. As a member, do I have to arbitrate business disputes?
YES. As a condition of membership, you agree to arbitrate business
disputes in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual of
the National Association of REALTORS®.
2. As a member, do I need to take Code of Ethics training?
YES. Code of Ethics Training is mandatory for new members, as well as
existing members.
3. Can I become a member of NYSCAR without holding member-ship in the
State and/or National Associations of REALTORS®?
NO. REALTOR® Membership is a three-way agreement with the Local,
State and National Associations of REALTORS®.
4. Is NYSCAR a local board/association of REALTORS?
YES. NYSCAR is a local association of REALTORS®. It is a “commercial
overlay board” with statewide jurisdiction. NYSCAR is under the same
requirements for membership, etc. as any other local board/association
throughout the country (i.e., Buffalo Association of REALTORS®,
Rochester Association of REALTORS®, Grt. Capital Association of
REALTORS®, Dutchess Co. Assoc. of REALTORS®, the Long Island
Board of REALTORS®, etc.)
5. What is the difference between primary and secondary membership? Primary membership means that you pay your Local, State and National
Dues through that association/board. Every REALTOR® must hold a
primary membership.
Secondary membership means that you choose to join an additional
board/association other than your primary. For a secondary membership,
you would pay the local portion of dues only (your state and national
would be paid through your primary board/association).
6. I hold primary membership in the Utica Board of REALTORS® and would also
like to join NYSCAR. Would my designated REALTOR® (principal broker)
have to join NYSCAR as well?
NO. You would join NYSCAR as a secondary member. As a secondary
member, you could join NYSCAR without your Designated REALTOR®
(principal broker) holding membership in NYSCAR.
If you wanted to hold Primary membership in NYSCAR, your designated
REALTOR® (principal broker) would need to hold “secondary”
membership in NYSCAR (assuming that he/she holds a primary
membership in the Utica Board.)
7. I am the principal broker of a firm that practices both residential and
commercial brokerage. Can I have the commercial salespeople join NYSCAR
and the residential salespeople join a residential board?
YES. As long as you (as the designated REALTOR/principal broker) hold
membership in both NYSCAR and the residential board.
8. I am a New York State Certified Residential Appraiser and would like to join
NYSCAR. Which category of membership would I apply for?
You would apply as a REALTOR® member. The National Association of
REALTORS® says that if you are a licensed or certified appraiser, you
qualify for REALTOR® membership.
9. I am a licensed broker and would like to join a NYSCAR Chapter in my area.
Do I need to hold membership in NYSCAR at the State level.
YES. REALTOR® membership in the chapters is open to any licensed
real estate broker, salesperson or appraiser who holds membership and
remains in good standing in the New York State Commercial Association
of REALTORS® (NYSCAR). |
