NAR vs. CAR vs. local association vs. MLS Key Fobs

[Terry Yee]

Hi,

I'm a real estate investor.

I just passed my real estate exam and I would like to find a broker so that I can hang my shingle and get access to the MLS and the key fobs to view properties.

I found ReEbroker.com to hang my shingle (open to other brokerages) and would like to understand the advantages of paying the NAR and CAR and Local real estate association fees vs. just signing up with the MLS through my local real estate association.

Any light on this would be helpful,

Thanks!
