REQUEST BY APPRAISAL FIRM FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE NORTHEASTERN MICHIGAN BOARD OF REALTORS® MLS

I understand that I will be billed monthly an amount determined by the MLS Committee, due by the 25th of each month for each salesperson and licensed or certified appraiser who has access to and use of the Northeastern Michigan Board of REALTORS® MLS, whether licensed as a broker, sales licensee, or licensed or certified appraiser who is employed by or affiliated as an independent contractor with such Participant. I am enclosing $300 with this application for the one-time Participation Fee. I also understand that all yearly Board Dues associated with my office must be paid by the due date or services will be suspended until my account is up-to-date.

I agree to abide by the Board and MLS Rules and Regulations for receiving data from, and submitting data to the MLS. By becoming a Participant in the Northeastern Michigan Board of REALTORS® MLS, I understand that the MLS information is not to be given to unauthorized parties and it is for the use of my appraisal business. I also understand that if it is substantiated that an unauthorized party is accessing the system through my account, the NEMBOR MLS may, through the administrative and hearing procedures established in the MLS Rules and Regulations, impose discipline for violations of the rules and other MLS governance provisions.

As a Participant, I, and my firm agree to arbitrate contractual disputes with other MLS Participants when such disputes arise out of our relationship as MLS Participants. I, and my firm agree to be bound by all relevant bylaws, rules and other obligations of participation that are or, in the future, may be enacted, including obligations which may parallel those duties established in the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®.

I understand that the MLS Participatory rights are being granted as a privilege, and not as a requirement of law, and it is likely that additional duties and obligations of participation may be enacted as recommended by the National Association in the future.

APPRAISAL OFFICE FIRM ROSTER

As the owner of my appraiser firm, I understand that I am ultimately responsible for all dues and fees associated with my office and each licensed or certified appraiser who is employed by or affiliated as independent contractors with my firm. I understand that if a licensee and/or a licensed or certified appraiser associated with my firm does not pay their dues/fees, I will be billed for the amount due. I will be responsible for collecting MLS fees of the individuals associated with my firm and remitting them to the Board Office on one check. Board dues will be invoiced to each individual and sent to me so I may disseminate them to the individuals with my office. I understand that if a licensed or certified appraiser associated with my firm does not pay their dues/fees, I will be responsible for the amount due. As an appraiser owner, I will list everyone associated with my office. However, I understand that MLS fees will be charged to only those licensed or certified appraisers that have access to and use of the Northeastern Michigan Board of REALTORS® MLS. If it is substantiated that an appraiser with my office is using the system without notification to the Northeastern Board, I will be billed for MLS fees retroactive to the date my office joined the MLS. Listed below are the licensed or certified appraisers who are associated with my firm.
