New Member Requirements

New Member Orientation

The New Member Orientation program is a requirement for membership and must be completed within 3 months of submitting the membership application to the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee.

All REALTOR® applicants are required to complete the following courses. You are classified as a provisional member until the Association has approved your membership and you have completed:

  • New Member Orientation: Overview of your membership in three Associations: REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee, Florida REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).
  • New Member Code of Ethics: The Code of Ethics course is a requirement for all REALTOR® members. Your adherence to the Code signifies your commitment to serve your clients in an ethical and professional manner. After this initial course, members will be required to complete Code of Ethics training every three years to maintain REALTOR® membership.

Classes are offered monthly and must be completed in-person to fulfill your membership requirements. You can find the next orientation class in your My RASM Portal.
