There are 3 main boards of Realtors in the Sacramento area that you can choose from.
Metrolist is the main MLS provider for much of Northern California. The board of Realtors that you join is not nearly as important as having the MLS access that you need to service your area.
If you live in Sacramento proper, the most applicable board is the Sacramento Association of Realtors. (SAR)
Outside the Sacramento area would be the El Dorado County Association of Realtors (EDCAR) or the Placer County Association of Realtors.
(Please Google these boards of Realtors and see which one is closest to where you live)
You should join the one that is closest to you, however the main focus is that you have have access to the appropriate MLS for your area.
You will need to join the Board of Realtors within 21 days of hanging your license with us.
When you join the local board of Realtors, you will also be joining:
National Association of Realtors
California Association of Realtors
Local Association of Realtors (your choice of SAR, PCAR, EDCAR, etc)
The local MLS service provider for most all of Northern California is Metrolist, and you will have access to this through whichever board of Realtors you choose from above.
There are various areas, (including the Bay Area) that may be on a different MLS system; please check with your local broker if this is applicable for you.
The board of Realtors provides many benefits with your membership, including access to legal forms and contracts, local training events, Key Card Access for showing homes, MLS training, and much more.
