OP also specifically said Boston...not an entire county.If you want to throw numbers out, share the last 5, 10 years, or 20 years of year on year growth pertaining to Boston...and we'll have a logical discussion here.According to NAR’s findings, the median home price in the first quarter in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton area was $442,700.

(Unless you flip homes for a living)Pending Home Sales Slump As NAR Warns "Activity Has Essentially Stalled"New Home Sales rose in May, Existing Home Sales dropped in May, and today we find out that Pending Home Sales also tumbled in May... so that's 2 down, 1 up - not good (especially as mortgage apps are tumbling in June)This is the second monthly decline in a row, but Pending home sales are down 2.2% YoY - the 5th straight month of annual sales declines.Home sales fell for the year in all regions YoY, but the decline in the last month was concentrated in the South, while the other three regions reported MoM increases.

Any of you enrolled with NAR's AHP (association health plans)?

Some might consider this a distinction without a difference, however, violation of MLS or NAR rules is not the same as "illegal." 

REALTOR is just a designation from NAR.

NAR is the second biggest lobbyist behind the NRA.

She has now taken my supra lockbox off of the door, made a police complaint and is trying to file a complaint to the NAR. 

Most state residential forms promulgated by the NAR or that state association of realtors have that boilerplate type of language.

Those fees may be for the mls, nar, etc. and the broker wants to make sure they join.

@Adam BordesAs Nick said, you'd need to check with your local board to see if you can just pay for the MLS access or if you would need to join the local NAR and pay dues to access the MLS.
