Wiregrass Board of REALTORS

What Wiregrass Board of REALTORS does

Wiregrass Board of REALTORS® is a member-based trade association headquartered at 101 Douglas Brown Circle in Enterprise, Alabama, serving licensed real estate professionals in the Wiregrass area of Southeast Alabama. The organization is affiliated with the Alabama Association of REALTORS® (AAR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), and its members automatically receive membership in both state and national bodies. Core operations consist of two integrated offerings: (1) REALTOR® membership services, which include ethics enforcement under the NAR Code of Ethics via a Grievance Committee and Professional Standards Committee, access to legal counsel, legislative representation, continuing education, and the licensed use of the REALTOR® trademark; and (2) the Wiregrass MLS, a Multiple Listing Service powered by the Matrix platform and supplemented by an integrated suite of nine third-party tools (Supra electronic lockboxes, ShowingTime, Instanet Forms/Transaction Desk, Forewarn safety app, OneHome client portal, Realist tax records, Trestle data delivery, and MLS Touch mobile app). Membership is open to licensed REALTORS® sponsored by their brokers and to Affiliate Members representing adjacent service providers such as title companies, lenders, and home inspectors; the organization runs quarterly New Member Orientations and monthly General Membership Meetings at the Enterprise Country Club.

The revenue model is subscription-based, built on pro-rated annual membership dues, one-time application fees, and recurring MLS subscription services. Customer segments span licensed REALTOR® members (primary), Affiliate Members (secondary), and consumers seeking agent referrals via the REALTOR® Directory. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and broker-mediated: new REALTORS® are sponsored by their broker, submit signed applications with state license verification, and complete orientation before gaining full member benefits. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct inquiry. The organization is governed by an elected Board of Directors with staggered term positions (President, President-Elect, Treasurer, Secretary, Local Directors) and operates with a small paid staff led by Association Executive Rhonda Brown; day-to-day administration runs Monday–Thursday 8am–3pm and Friday 8am–12pm.
