How Do I Participate in the Realtor® Program?

There are three ways to sign up for the Realtor® Participation Program:

It is preferred that the Real Estate Agents brings the prospective client(s), on their initial visit, to register the client and him/herself on the Guest Registration Card with the Arbor Homes Community Sales Manager.
If it is not possible to come in with the homebuyer, we ask for a courtesy email from the Agent to the Arbor Homes Community Sales Manager providing the client’s contact information prior to their initial visit.
If a client does visit the sales model on their own, they must list the Real Estate Agent on their first visit for the Agent to be included in the sale.
