Door County Board of Realtors

What Door County Board of Realtors does

Door County Board of REALTORS (DCBR) is a private, nonprofit professional trade association headquartered at 57 N. 12th Ave, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, serving real estate professionals across Door County and Kewaunee County. The organization is a local affiliate of the Wisconsin REALTORS Association (WRA) and the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), and it operates the Door County MLS — a Multiple Listing Service platform where participating brokerages share and access property listings. Its core product set comprises the Door County MLS database, a public Property Search tool, an exclusive Member Portal, Consumer Resources (educational guides for buyers and sellers), an Agent & Office Directory, and a Charitable Foundation that has been fundraising for local organizations since 2005. In 2026, DCBR also launched a REALTOR Relief Funds program (jointly with NAR and WRA) offering up to $1,000 in disaster relief to homeowners impacted by April storms.

Revenue is generated entirely through a subscription, dues-based model with three streams: REALTOR Membership Dues (annual, tiered by joining month, ranging from $1,048 to $1,718 depending on tier and component fees covering DCBR, WRA, and NAR portions), MLS User Fees (quarterly, $144 per user plus $45 per office), and Affiliate Membership Dues (annual, tiered from $155 to $595) paid by ancillary industry service providers such as lenders, title companies, and home inspectors. The organization is governed by a 2026 Board of Directors elected from the membership, with Katy Lau serving as President. Its primary customer segments are its REALTOR members (agents, brokers, appraisers) and end consumers (home buyers and sellers) in Door and Kewaunee Counties who are routed through member agents rather than transacting directly with DCBR. The go-to-market model is community-led, with member recruitment via the website portal, industry events, and referrals, and consumer-facing marketing centered on local events, charitable giving, and the REALTOR® brand.
