Unlock the Power of Membership

At Johnston County Association of Realtors®, we are committed to helping real estate professionals succeed with unparalleled resources, support, and advocacy. Whether you’re looking for basic MLS access or full REALTOR® membership with industry-leading benefits, we have the right option for you.

Which Membership is Right for You?

 

REALTOR® 3X Access Membership

The full-service membership for driven professionals who want to elevate their career, gain credibility, and unlock exclusive tools and savings. This comprehensive membership provides access to National (NAR), State (NC REALTORS®), and Local (Johnston County) associations, along with legal guidance, technology support, marketing tools, and thousands of dollars in discounts.

 

Non-REALTOR® MLS-Only Membership

A bare-minimum option for those who only need access to Hive MLS—without the career-building benefits, support, or professional credibility that come with REALTOR® membership. While you will be able to list and search properties, you miss out on critical tools, legal resources, exclusive discounts, and advocacy that protects your business.  Plus the additional cost of Forms, Legal Support and no discounts.

 

Comprehensive Membership Benefits

MLS Access & Property Listings

  • Non-REALTOR® MLS-Only Member: Basic access to Hive MLS—but at a higher non-member rate, with no additional resources or discounts.
  • REALTOR® 3X Access Member: Enjoy discounted Hive MLS rates and full access to industry-leading tools at a lower cost.

 

Branding & Professional Credibility
