South Central Board of Realtors

What South Central Board of Realtors does

South Central Board of REALTORS® (SCBOR) is a private, non-profit professional real estate trade association founded in 2000 and headquartered in Brenham, Texas. It serves licensed real estate professionals — individual REALTORS, brokerage offices, and affiliate businesses — across the South Central Texas region. The association operates as a chartered local board under the Texas REALTORS and National Association of REALTORS (NAR) framework, enforcing the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, providing continuing education required for license renewal, and facilitating member cooperation through networking events and referrals.

SCBOR's operational footprint includes 461 REALTOR members, 138 brokerage offices, and 40+ affiliate partners such as banks, title companies, insurance agencies, and home builders. Its core service offerings consist of a member portal hosting three searchable directories (REALTOR Directory, Office Directory, Affiliate Directory), an events calendar, monthly luncheons held at Blinn College Student Center, and access to continuing education via the CE Shop platform (e.g., Broker Responsibility Course priced at $61 for 6 CE hours, delivered via Zoom). The technology stack is built on the GrowthZone CMS platform with a members-only portal subdomain; no proprietary technology, APIs, or mobile applications are in place.

The business model centers on recurring annual membership dues from REALTORs, broker offices, and affiliates, supplemented by fee-based CE courses on a pay-as-you-go basis. General membership dues are not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by an elected volunteer board of directors (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, TREPAC Director, and Directors) with a single paid staff member, Association Executive Johanna Ullrich, handling day-to-day operations.
