Membership at the SBAOR & MLS

What does membership mean at the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS®?

Embracing the REALTOR® membership means embracing the National Code of Ethics, dedication to elevated professionalism, and continually learning and advocating for improved laws and policies that not only support your individual career but also benefits the broader community. REALTOR® members are not just real estate agents, but career-driven individuals looking to uphold and transform the real estate profession.

For Affiliate partners, the association offers avenues for marketing, active participation in committees, and attendance at events tailored to enhance exposure to REALTORS® and their clientele. It's a platform to showcase business offerings and actively contribute to the real estate community.

Our Multiple Listing data serves over 1,700 local and out-of-town real estate agents, and helps them connect their clients to their new homes. Not only that, but they can run comparable reports, share marketing and community data with their fellow real estate professionals, and serve Santa Barbara with the knowledge and tools that we provide.
