Loveland-Berthoud Association of Realtors

What Loveland-Berthoud Association of Realtors does

The Loveland-Berthoud Association of REALTORS (LBAR) is a private, non-profit professional trade association serving real estate professionals in the Loveland-Berthoud area of Northern Colorado. LBAR is a local chapter affiliated with the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) and the Colorado Association of REALTORS (CAR); members are automatically enrolled at all three tiers, which grants them access to the REALTOR trademark, the NAR Code of Ethics framework, and national advocacy infrastructure. The association's core function is to develop and promote programs that enhance members' ability to conduct real estate business with integrity and competency, encompassing continuing education, ethics and arbitration services, government affairs advocacy, networking events, and access to Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data via the coloproperty.com partnership.

LBAR's core offerings include MLS property listings through coloproperty.com, monthly housing statistics reports for the Northern Colorado region (covering Berthoud, Boulder, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont, Loveland, Wellington, and Windsor), in-person and online REALTOR education classes (NAR Fair Housing, NAR Ethics, Commission Updates, SRES designation), an annual peer-recognition awards program, ethics and arbitration dispute resolution, and a member directory. The association does not operate a proprietary technology platform; instead it integrates with third-party providers including RPR for property research, VanEd and Interact CE for continuing education, and standard calendar platforms (Google, iCalendar, Outlook) for event distribution. LBAR is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors led by President Tammy Fisher (Exp Realty LLC-Loveland) and operates with a small staff of CEO Debbie Long and Administrative Assistant Linda Majchrowicz.

LBAR generates revenue through four primary streams: annual REALTOR membership dues (prorated by joining month, fiscal year October 1 to September 30), Affiliate membership dues from ancillary real estate service providers (title insurance, lending, attorneys, builders, inspectors, appraisers), Designated REALTOR/Managing Broker dues scaled by licensee count, and education and training fees. LBAR markets to prospective members through its website (lbaronline.com), email communications, events, and referrals within the real estate community. Application processes require license verification and Code of Ethics commitment. The association is privately held with no parent company, no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and operates as an independent local association within the NAR federation.
