Is a Payment Plan available?

If you are a REALTOR® member and your primary membership is held with the West Metro Board of REALTORS®, you will have a Payment Plan option when making payment online. Three installments will be applied to your credit card: first installment of $182 is paid on the day you enroll; the second installment drafts on December 15th for $125; and the third/final installment on January 15th will be $201 + voluntary RPAC investment. The Order Summary screen will reflect the full amount of the membership cost until the final installment is completed. Members are encouraged to enroll/submit their first installment by November 15th in order to take full advantage of the payment schedule.

Please note this plan is available only online, and payments will be processed automatically with the credit card information provided. This payment plan is available only to renewing members. You must renew online and submit your first installment by November 30th in order to participate in this payment plan.

TERMS: By signing up for the payment plan online, I give authorization to the West Metro Board of REALTORS® to charge my credit/debit card account for my membership renewal on the specified installment dates. I understand that all payments are non-refundable. I also understand that if my membership dues are not paid in full by January 15th, I will incur a $40 late fee. My membership will be deactivated if any outstanding balance is not paid in full by March 1st, and an additional $75 reinstatement fee will be incurred.

What if I miss the renewal deadline?

WMBOR's payment plan option is no longer available on or after December 1st.

For members who have not renewed in full by January 15th, the renewal amount will increase by $40.

For members participating in a Payment Plan, the renewal amount will not increase if paid in full by January 15th. After January 15th, a $40 increase will be applied.

For any members who have not renewed in full by March 1st, the renewal amount will increase by an additional $75, and membership benefits will be discontinued.

How may I obtain my Username or Password?

 From the login screen, you may use the "Get Started" button to retrieve your Username and Password. You must provide your last name and either your email address, NRDS ID, or real estate license number in order to retrieve your information. Click here to visit the Member Portal. 

How do I print an invoice?

 To print an invoice, log in to the Member Portal and click on the "My Orders" tab. Click on the order name, which is in blue. This link brings you to an Orders Details page. Use the "Print" button on the bottom of the page to download a pdf. If your order has been paid, then these steps provide a receipt. 

What is an RPAC Investment?

 RPAC is your best investment in real estate! The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is the nation’s largest, most successful, and most bipartisan political action committee. Your voluntary investment is used to improve your bottom line in several ways: Through issues mobilization, political advocacy, and by directly supporting candidates at the local, state, and federal levels of government who champion the ideals and principles of REALTORS®. To learn more about the REALTOR® Political Action Committee and its initiatives, please visit westmetrorealtors.com/rpac or realtorparty.realtor. 

Is an RPAC Investment included in my renewal?

 Two RPAC investments are included on each member's renewal to help reach the Association's annual REALTOR® Party fundraising goals, but your participation is voluntary. If renewing online, after you select "pay dues" and before you enter your credit card information, you will see blue edit links next to the RPAC investments on the order summary. If you click on the edit links you'll be taken to a page that will allow you to adjust your investment to any amount you'd feel comfortable contributing or to opt-out from investing at this time. 

Am I required to invest in RPAC?

Your renewal invoice online includes two voluntary RPAC investments which are strongly encouraged but are ultimately voluntary. Please note that RPAC saves the typical REALTOR® approximately $25,000 each year and, without RPAC, you would be paying significantly more in operating costs annually. The RPAC flyer explains your benefits in more detail.
 
As you go through the prompts to pay online, you have the ability to modify and/or remove the RPAC amounts (you'll see an "edit" option next to the RPAC amounts) just before you input your credit card information.

What payment methods are accepted?

You may pay by check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

We also accept cash or money orders, provided the exact amount is tendered.

Is my credit card charged immediately?

 Yes, the charge is completed during the renewal transaction. If you have incorrectly entered the credit card number or expiration date, or if there is another problem with the card, you will be unable to complete the transaction online. 

What if I wish to pay by check?

5784 Lake Forrest Dr. • Atlanta, GA 30328
