Becky,
I too am concerned with an organization that realtors are required to join if they want the benefits of calling themselves a "Realtor", only to find that the organization is going to assess you for political reasons. It burns me up to think that legislators have to be lobbied by professional lobbyist in order for people to be heard. To me, a lobbyist is just a middleman to offer legislators bribes, as in our group will vote for you if you will do so and so, I'm sick of politicians not listening to their constituents unless the liason is paid to speak to them.........we vote, they should listen without a lobbyist but back to the NCAR.......they should not assess anyone for political reasons, their job is to function as the professional branch for licensees who want to become better at the job.
I think everyone can speak for themselves, there's already RPAC, if there's not enough money in RPAC coffers, too bad, forget it. Sooner or later sellers and buyers will learn that realtors are here to help them and that government affects their wallets as well as realtors.

The MLS is the only place to find out about homes for sale?

These people have apparently not heard of realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, or other sites where one can find out about homes for sale.

What's missing from the other sites is an understood offer of compensation. That is inconvenient, but not an unsurmountable obstacle.

While we're complaining...EVERY NC Real Estate Broker should be embarrassed that our state HQ building sports the name of one of the MOST CORRUPT NC democrackkks, TONY RAND, D-Cumberland from Fayetteville.

EVERY NC Broker should complain to the NCREC directors to REMOVE it from our state HQ on Navajo Dr immediately.
