Your strategy may depend on how soon you plan to move.If you're sure you're going to move fairly soon, you could join the Sacramento Association of Realtors so you don't have to transition that membership when you move.

I have the membership but evidently that doesn't help unless I actually go :)Thanks!

It's a lifetime membership, and the benefits are a mile long.

The software offers a way to look up numbers by address but do they CHARGE for it or is it included with a membership?

I agree attend a few sessions before shelling out for yearly membership

I'm going to a local reia meeting but it's sort of a club that offers a monthly membership to help find deals and network with those in the inner circle.

Make sure that if you use yellowletters.com that you spend the $195 to get the platinum membership. 

I personally steer clear of Angie's List, Yelp, BP Vendor, Dave Ramsey Select Vendors, or any other service that charges the vendor for membership and then promotes the list to the public as if trust, excellence, and performance have ANYTHING to do with the list selection. 

Sounds like a bit of work and expense (membership interest purchase and sale agreement plus future fees to the corporations division) to hide what is likely a modest assignment fee on the buyer's side of the settlement statement. 

Yep - Assuming there's not the up-sell, membership and secondary agendas of so many other REIA's (which knowing you, there won't be...)
