Since 1920, the Kansas Association of REALTORS® has been the “Voice for Real Estate” in Kansas.
KAR is a not-for-profit trade association representing over 8,500 REALTOR® members throughout the state of Kansas. Within that membership base, Kansas has 35 local boards of REALTORS®, including a Members-At-Large group which includes members from areas across the state of Kansas.
The term 'Three-Way Agreement' refers to the relationship between the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, the state association, and the local associations of that state. The agreement requires that a REALTOR® or REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® member of any constituent local association must also be a member of the National and appropriate state association. This agreement further grants to state and local associations the right to use the term REALTOR® in their names and grants them the right to use the term REALTOR® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® within their territorial jurisdictions and to grant the right to use the term REALTOR® or REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® to such individuals as deemed qualified for membership. In turn, member associations agree to accept the charge of properly granting and regulating the use of the terms REALTOR® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®; to subscribe to the Code of Ethics of the National Association; and to uphold and enforce the Code within the association's jurisdiction. The local associations also agree to maintain membership in good standing in the state association of the state in which they are located.
The local association is the most visible and best-known component of the REALTOR® organization. It is at this level that members can actively participate on a regular basis and contribute to achieve common goals to better the industry.
The following list of activities provides a partial picture of a local association's function:
Provides the organization, administration, and execution of REALTOR® policy.
Provides a headquarters or "place" for REALTORS® to discuss plans and to implement policy in which they are in agreement.
Elects its leadership and selects its staff to execute final decisions.
Grants use of the terms REALTOR® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® to eligible members and ensures proper use of both terms.
Provides educational meetings and seminars on real estate topics.
Enforces the NAR Code of Ethics and provides an arbitration process for contractual disputes between REALTORS® and between REALTORS® and their clients. (The local association is required to have a professional standards committee charged with such responsibility, subject to provisions of the bylaws and to control by the board of directors.)
Is the collective voice of all its members, by virtue of electing--through democratic processes -- its officers and directors, by appointing REALTORS® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®s to its committees, by having membership meetings, and by entertaining suggestions and complaints.
Provides training in public service and organized real estate through service on committees and in elective positions.
Provides, through tested and proven service on the local association level, an opportunity for service on the state and national level.
Organizes and maintains the important function of cooperative business practices, such as an MLS.
Often provides a real estate library, training films and cassettes, standard business forms, advertising, publicity, public relations, and the opportunity for civic participation on behalf of the association and its members.
A local REALTOR® association can be a great force for the public welfare of any community, and it can be a tremendous service to and on behalf of its REALTOR® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® members.
