Frequently Asked Dues Questions
Q1: What do I need to do if I recently decided to go inactive with LREC for 2025?
A: Because your license is currently active for 2024 you will remain active with us until Dec 31st, 2024. Please send us the Member Transfer/Check out Form at the end of year so we can then remove you on January 1, 2025. At that time your 2025 Realtor dues will be removed from your account as well as any late fees incurred for the renewal invoice. Please keep in mind you will continue to get email notices for this outstanding invoice. You can simply disregard these notices.
Q2: What if I go inactive, but at the last minute choose to continue to be active with LREC for 2025?
A: No worries, simply pay your outstanding 2025 dues before January 1st and your membership will carry on.
Q3: Neither Q1 or Q2 help me, because LREC tells me I don’t have to do anything to let my license expire at end of year.
A: This is correct for LREC rules, please see Q1 answer to keep in compliance with GBRAR rules.
Q4: My license is inactive as of today/this week/ tomorrow. What do I do?
A: Please send us the Member Transfer/ Check out Form. We will inactivate your services and discontinue your billing and remove any 2025 invoices from your account.
