Affiliate Services – SE MN Association of REALTORS

Affiliate members are members of the Southeast Minnesota area business community who support the real estate industry, home ownership rights and a partnership between all organizations who help to build our communities. We invite you to participate in this relationship.

Each affiliate who wishes to continue membership may do so by paying $75 a year. (Our fiscal year is Oct 1– Sept. 30 each year.)

For the $75 per year each affiliate member receives:
- Your name, company name, address and phone number, e-mail address and website link listed on the Internet association homepage at www.semnrealtors.org; also the ability to purchase banner ads on the website. Ability to purchase banner ads on the only local MLS internet site to feature LOCAL advertising of LOCAL businesses, drawing people to the area at www.semnrealtors.com. This site, after nearly one year, receives an average of 500,000 page views a month! (Contact the association for details.)

Opportunity to serve on any of several different committees: Affiliates Committee, Member and Community Service Committee, Government Affairs Committee, Education Committee. Each of the hub communities (Albert Lea, Austin, Owatonna, Rochester and Winona) has its own Member and Community Services Committee – that may be your best choice!
