2026 Nebraska RELATORS Emeritus Application

REALTOR® Emeritus qualification requirements:

  • Through the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), REALTOR® Emeritus status is now awarded to members who have held membership for a cumulative of 40 years and have completed one (1) year of service at the National Association of REALTORS® level. Recognition at the NAR level includes waiver of national and state dues. Local dues may also be waived if the local association chooses to do so   "Service" is defined as serving as an officer, director, committee member, federal political coordinator, president’s liaison, or regional coordinator to a country with which NAR holds a reciprocal agreement.   Note: there is no grandfather clause for members seeking NAR REALTOR® Emeritus status starting in 2020.
  • Through the Nebraska REALTORS® Association (NRA) only, members holding membership for a cumulative 40 years who aren’t recognized at the National level, may be awarded State Association REALTOR® Emeritus status. The state has no service requirement as per state by-laws. Members awarded State Association REALTOR® Emeritus status qualify for waiver of state dues only. There is no exemption from the Code of Ethics requirement associated with State REALTOR® Emeritus status.

STATE DEADLINE: Application deadline is July 31st. State REALTOR® Emeritus applications not received by July 31st will be reviewed the following year during Fall Meetings by the Board of Directors.

Submit State REALTOR® Emeritus applications to the Nebraska REALTORS Association. Only online submissions will be accepted beginning in 2025.
