Why Join Rochester Chapter

From the Desk of Justin Merriam, 2024 RAC NYSCAR Membership Chair:

In 2023, RAC NYSCAR membership experienced steady growth, a testament to our vibrant community of Real Estate professionals. As we reflect on our achievements, we look forward to expanding our organization further in 2024, welcoming new Affiliates and Brokerages to join us and to continue to grow our great organization. Please contact me for any questions on membershipDownload an application to invite a colleague to join our membership.


Why RAC NYSCAR?

Know a Broker who isn't a member of RAC NYSCAR yet? Know an Attorney, Appraiser, Lender, Architect or Enginner that might benefit from an Affiliate membershp with our organization? Invite them to one of our monthly sponsored events. All guests are welcomed to attend.

Of course, our monthly events are a great opportunity to network with other Commercial Professionals, but this is not where benefits from being a member stop. At these events, we have great guest speakers that touch on topics that will educate you on our market changes and save you and your customer’s time and money.

Education is another benefit that RAC NYSCAR provides.  We strive to bring our members courses that are interesting and informative to our Rochester area. In 2024, NYSCAR is, again, offering free education to NYSCAR members each month via Zoom.  Check the RAC NYSCAR calendar each month to find out content and registration details.  

Our Annual Statewide Conference at Turning Stone will be held in June of 2024.  More details will be forthcoming. The conference is not only great for the golfer, but you will have the opportunity to participate in Marketing sessions, listen to great guest speakers with topics like economic forecasts, government issues and new rulings that affect our industry. At the conference, we also have Educational opportunities with CE credits and some great courses that won’t give you CE credit but will help you in business with topics like social media and technology. There was even a memory course a few years back.

Being a member of RAC NYSCAR gives you a bigger voice in Albany. By adding your signature to lobby for or against issues that affect our industry, you will be part of the solution. Several years ago, we successfully overturned the 39 Year Depreciation Rule, bringing it back to 15 years. This was a direct result of letters signed and sent from our Chapter.

There are many other benefits available to our membership: a Quarterly Newsletter, discounts at local and national retailers, Commercial related forms, grievance and professional standards committees to enforce the high standard of ethical conduct and to arbitrate business between Commercial practitioners.

An investment in RAC NYSCAR is an investment in your profession.
