Secondary State Membership

Your DC Real Estate Practice Deserves a DC Voice

Are you licensed in DC, but your office is based in Maryland or Virginia? If so, you need representation, relationships, and resources that match that footprint for the District of Columbia.

State and local associations are designed to work together, not in competition. DCAR serves as the state REALTOR® association for the District of Columbia, just as Maryland REALTORS® serves Maryland members. GCAAR is a local REALTOR® association and provides local services (such as lockboxes and forms) to members in Montgomery County and DC. If your primary state association is with Maryland or Virginia, but you are also licensed and doing business in the District of Columbia, a secondary membership with DCAR ensures you have advocacy, representation, and access at every level where your business operates.  

Benefits of DCAR Secondary State Membership:

  • Access to industry-leading advocacy at the District level
  • Direct engagement with District government leaders and policymakers
  • Global business connections and referral opportunities
  • Curated networking and premier social events in Washington, D.C.
  • High-quality educational programming through expert speaker series
  • Exclusive Insights into the D.C. housing market, policy, and regulatory landscape
