REALTOR® Emeritus is a NAR designation available to any current REALTOR® member in good standing who has held membership in the National Association of REALTORS® for a cumulative period of forty (40) years, and has proof of one (1) year of service at the NAR level, is eligible for REALTOR® Emeritus status.
The REALTOR® Emeritus status eligibility requirements are:
~ Forty (40) years of REALTOR® or REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® (or both) membership.
~ Proof of one (1) year of service* at the National Association level.
* "Service" is defined as serving as a NAR officer, director, committee member, Federal Political Coordinator, Global Ambassador, or Global Coordinator to a country with which NAR holds a reciprocal agreement.
In some cases, RANW does not have data from the year a REALTOR® joined, so we don't notify members. If you feel you qualify for REALTOR® Emeritus, please contact Cheryl at cdreger@ranw.org by April 2, 2023. RANW will work with you to complete the application and provide evidence of your 40 years and proof of service to submit to NAR on your behalf.
