Real estate is a full-time job. And then some. So when you make an investment
of time, you expect it to pay off. At WCR we understand. We focus on bringing
our members concrete programs that yield tangible results.
That's possible thanks to WCR's unique structure, the foundation of which is
our nationwide network of local and state chapters. It's the best of both worlds:
the strength and continuity of a national profile, with the responsiveness
and accessibility of chapters close to home.
It's
this combination that makes WCR different. And it allows us to
bring you more programs, more networking opportunities and more
ways to build your business than any other REALTOR® organization.
BACK TO TOP
Staying on top means staying in touch. So WCR brings you a range of valuable,
up-to-the-minute sources of information.
Connections Magazine is the new voice of WCR. As you've come to expect from
WCR’s official magazine, Connections will bring you the timely, practical
information on essential real estate topics, as well as professional development
and personal growth - with articles written by trusted experts. It's also a
great source of news about WCR. Connections is free to WCR members and arrives
eight times a year.
In its 64-year history, the Women's Council of REALTORS® (WCR) has never
been more relevant to the real estate industry than it is right now. Every
day, we provide the tools to take dynamic real estate professionals to the
top of the industry, through education, networking, mentoring, business strategies,
referrals and much more.
Our members are industry leaders, who earn more, learn more and achieve more.
The core of our organization is a strong grassroots base of 14,000 national
members in more than 250 local chapters.
Based
on commission income, our members are twice as productive as
the average REALTOR® and are better established in the business.
And that, in turn, means they are better connected to the communities
they serve.

Want to send and receive referrals by e-mail? Network on-line with a community
of supportive and committed professionals? Look up another member's e-mail
or home page address? You'll have all this at your fingertips, because as a
WCR member you'll have access to MOCA (Members Only Conferencing Area) where
you can participate in discussion groups or drop in to the on-line Referral
Center. It's a whole new reason to be a WCR member.
At the heart of everything we do at WCR is a belief that by working together
our members are more successful than they would be alone. So your WCR membership
opens up a world of networking and referral opportunities, including local,
state and regional meetings, workshops and special events.
Ask a WCR member what the most valuable benefit of their membership is and,
chances are, most will say "referrals." In a recent survey, 60 percent
of our members reported using the referral networking the last 24 months. What
does that mean for you? It means that, on average, our members close 1.9 WCR
referrals annually. The backbone of our referral network is WCR's annual member
directory, the Referral Roster. It's your link to tens of thousands of real
estate professionals nationwide who are ready and willing to put qualified
referrals in your hands. Your listing in the Roster is free with your membership.
And additional advertising opportunities are available to increase your visibility
even further.

When you become a WCR member, you also become a member of your local WCR chapter.
Meetings and events held by these chapters complement out national referral
network by helping you develop business contacts, friends and mentors right
in you area. Most chapters hold monthly meetings, organize committees and stage
events -- all activities in which you can become involved to expand your network.
Likewise,
WCR state and regional chapters also hold events designed to
increase your business opportunities and develop your skills
and talents. Finally, two national meetings are held around the
country each year, during which members come together to conduct
Council business, participate in education programs and make
contacts and friends from all over the nation.
