Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale

What Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale does

The Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale is a Florida-based non-profit professional real estate trade association operating commercially as Miami Realtors® + RWorld. It serves licensed REALTORS, brokers, affiliates, commercial specialists, and young professionals across five Southeast Florida counties — Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Miami-Dade — through eight physical office locations and an authenticated member portal.

Its core platform is BeachesMLS, a wholly-owned Multiple Listing Service that powers regional real estate transactions and provides members with a free IDX data feed, compliance tools, and digital market reports for each of the five counties. The MLS stack runs on Solid Earth's backend with Matrix/Flex technology and integrates with Supra lockbox and eKey systems for secure property access. Members access these tools through MLS Dash, a centralized single sign-on dashboard, and benefit from over 1,300 annual continuing education classes, a Brokers Hub, a Young Professionals Network (YPN), a Leadership Academy, a certified photographer directory, and a video and podcast library.

The business model is subscription/membership-based: revenue is generated primarily from recurring membership dues across tiers (new members, transfers, brokers, affiliates), supplemented by education fees, affiliate advertising, events, and merchandise. Supporting subsidiaries include BeachesMLS (core MLS operations), SFL Commercial (dedicated commercial division), and the Global Realtors Alliance (international partnership). Consumer demand is reinforced by the award-winning "Only a REALTOR" advertising campaign and the RWorld Community Foundation's charitable outreach.
