What Miami Association of Realtors does

The Miami Association of Realtors, operating under the combined brand "MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld" since its May 11, 2026 merger with Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors, is a non-profit trade association chartered by the National Association of Realtors in 1920. Headquartered at 1800 Oakwood Drive in Miami Springs, the organization serves approximately 93,000 Realtor members across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Martin counties through six physical offices and a global council with 300+ international partnerships spanning 77 countries. Its core technology stack is the Matrix MLS platform, accessed through the MIAMI Gateway member portal, with 93,000 subscribers making it the third-largest MLS in the U.S., plus the Supra electronic key box system, IDX/Web API services, and dedicated residential, commercial, and open house property search platforms.

The association generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) recurring annual membership dues from its 93,000 members, (2) recurring MLS subscription fees from the same 93,000 subscriber base, and (3) professional services income from continuing education and certification courses priced at $15-$85 per course. Members are organized into six operational divisions: MIAMI Residential, MIAMI Commercial, Broward-MIAMI, JTHS-MIAMI, MIAMI YPN, and the award-winning MIAMI Global Council. The combined entity's membership facilitated approximately $69 billion in real estate transaction volume in 2025, including 361 homes sold at $10M+ and $4.4 billion in foreign buyer purchases led by Colombian and Argentinian buyers.

Leadership transitioned to a Co-CEO structure in 2026, with long-serving CEO Teresa King Kinney (33 years) and Dionna Hall co-leading through 2026, after which Kinney will retire. The organization is currently navigating the Zea v. Miami Realtors antitrust lawsuit regarding alleged coordinated restrictions on consumer choice in discount brokerage, alongside expanded PropTech engagement including AI and automation education for members. The merged entity is the largest local Realtor association in the world, exceeding the next-largest local association by 33% and surpassing 47 state associations in membership.
