  Survey: REALTOR® Commission Is Top Pain Point for Clients

Nearly 43% of consumers say the agent's commission is too high. More top gripes include a lack of transparency, conflicts of interest, and a lack of communication. Other common pain points in a transaction, according to the consumer survey, are: too much paperwork (39%); the process takes too long (36.6%); it's too confusing (28.2%); too many people are involved (21.1%); and giving away too much information (17.3%).

  Members encouraged to keep account information current  
  Nevada REALTORS® invites members from across the state to check and update their personal profiles in RAMCO, which members can log into at NVAR.org. Members can also contact their local associations to provide updated account information.

It is vital that members keep their profile information -- including their current email address -- up to date. Current contact information allows NVR and NAR to reach members with important information regarding billing, Calls to Action and upcoming events. Additionally, without a current email address, members could miss out on valuable information from NVR's weekly newsletter and the Advocate, which focuses on statewide legislative news.

If you have further questions or concerns about keeping your member account updated, you can inquire by email at info@nvar.org.
