I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

Hi Jesse, I like to diversify and get my knowledge from different sources and I am part of several paid memberships. 

Lenders tend to have different requirements.... some look for a required minimum membership interest and others look solely at direct benefit the signer receives which could be membership interest, fee etc.

NOT MANY MEMBERSHIPS OFFER THIS AT ALL.13.

They are being offered discounted rent, free gym memberships, free cable, etc.

I ending up burning some money for the things you described (NAR membership, brokerage fees, quarterly MLS charges, etc), just a lot of things I found I wasn't getting any value from, I decided to simply put it on full stop and take a year to really reallocate and figure out what I needed to do.

I’m leaning towards canceling my pro membership.

I understand how important it is to resolve this matter promptly.I want to address your concerns regarding the delay in processing your IC Membership refund.

You’ll need to pay MLS dues for access to MLS which in some areas requires NAR/ board of Realtors membership (~$2,000/yr in my market).
