Affiliate Application

I hereby apply for Affiliate Membership in the New Canaan Board REALTORS®.

I hereby submit the following information for your consideration.

I understand and agree to the following application and approval procedures and certify that the foregoing information furnished by me is true and correct, and I agree that failure to provide complete and accurate information as requested, or any misstatement of fact, may be grounds for revocation of my membership, if granted.

I agree that if accepted for Membership I shall pay the dues and fees as established by the Board of Directors

Upon termination of membership for any cause, I understand that any and all payment of dues and fees are non-refundable.

Dues Payments are not tax deductible as charitable contributions.  Portions of such payments may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. 

Payment of all fees and dues accompany this application.

I agree to abide by the following requirements and rules of membership upon my acceptance to membership in the New Canaan Board of REALTORS.

I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, including the obligation to arbitrate any future disputes with another Member in accordance with the Board’s arbitration procedures.  I also agree to abide by the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations of the New Canaan Board of REALTORS®, the Connecticut State Association, and the National Association, and if required, I further agree to satisfactorily complete a reasonable and nondiscrimatory written examination on such Code, Constitutions, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations.  I consent that the Board, through its Membership Committee or otherwise, may invite and receive information and comment about me from any Member or other person, and I further agree that any information and comment furnished to the Board by any person in response to the invitation shall be inclusively deemed to be privileged and not form the basis of any action by me for slander, libel, or defamation of character.  Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of requirements not occur within the time frame established in the Bylaws.

I acknowledge that if I am accepted as a Member and I subsequently resign from membership in the Board with an ethics complaint or arbitration request pending, the Board of Directors may condition my right to reapply for membership upon  verification that I will submit to the pending ethic or arbitration proceeding and will abide by the decision of the Hearing Panel; or if I resign without having complied with an award in arbitration, the Board of Directors may condition any re-application upon my promise to pay the award, plus any costs that have previously been established as due and payable by me, provided that the award has not, in the meanwhile, been otherwise satisfied.
