Metro Centre Association of REALTORS

What Metro Centre Association of REALTORS does

Metro Centre Association of REALTORS (operating as Mid Jersey Association of REALTORS® / MJAR) is a nonprofit professional trade association founded in 1940 that serves licensed real estate practitioners across Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset counties in New Jersey. The organization is the local-tier affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® and New Jersey REALTORS®, and it provides members with the credentialing, advocacy, and continuing education required to operate under the REALTOR® brand and comply with the NAR Code of Ethics.

Its core products are membership services rather than technology products. These include an online member portal for dues renewal and account management, continuing education courses (Agency, Fair Housing/Anti-Bias, Code of Ethics, CPEA), SUPRA eKey and iBox lockbox access, Bright MLS market reports and training, a consumer-facing Find a REALTOR® directory, the Circle of Excellence and REALTOR® of the Year award programs, and a complimentary Forewarn safety application valued at $300 per year. The association distributes these through three physical offices (South River headquarters, Branchburg, and a satellite opened in Trenton in December 2024) plus digital channels including a website, member portal, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr.

The business model is straightforward subscription recurring revenue: annual membership dues from REALTOR® members and a separate dues structure for Affiliate Members (industry service providers). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on volunteer leadership, committees, events, webinars, and local advocacy rather than paid acquisition. Customer segments are REALTOR® members (primary), Affiliate Members (secondary), and Consumers (tertiary, served via the Find a REALTOR® tool and first-time homebuyer resources). The association is small, with 1–10 employees and a member base implied to be in the low thousands based on Forewarn adoption of 1,000+ subscribers.
