IMPORTANT NOTICE
 
As you are aware, we have seen an increase in scammers attempting to defraud people with fake emails. We were informed of a recent example directing a customer of a different way to pay their SentriLock invoice.

Please be aware of any instructions you may receive to pay SentriLock differently than you would have done so in the past. We ask that you look at the email address of the sender and that you continue to make all of your SentriLock payments through MLS Technology.

"DO NOT accept any instructions to change payment accounts without contacting SentriLock by phone to verify."
ATTENTION BROKERS - OREC Website Updates

Please continue to send OREC website release notifications to GTAR as we do not receive them from OREC.  

Thank you,

GTAR Membership
Oklahoma Real Estate Commission has a new updated website!

NOTE FROM OREC:

We are encouraging everyone to utilize the portal as much as possible. Contact us directly if you have problems getting logged in.

The Portal is the only place you can access your license. If you are completely unable or unwilling to login to the portal, please email help@orec.ok.gov or mail your paperwork in.

NOTE: Emailing and mailing paperwork is substantially slower to process than our online submissions through the portal (which are all touched and worked the day they come in…except for some of the business applications at the moment).
 
You can access the Online Portal here.

Tulsa’s philanthropic community has contributed more than $1 million to combat homelessness

This week, Tulsans have rallied to support their vulnerable neighbors. Tulsa’s philanthropic community has contributed more than $1 million to combat homelessness during this severe winter weather emergency. To help Housing Solutions and its community partners in their efforts to keep our neighbors safe, Mayor Bynum will bring a budget amendment to the Tulsa City Council to join the effort and contribute $130,000 in CARES Act funds to Housing Solutions. These funds will pay for hotel stays that have proven to save the lives of our unsheltered neighbors.
 
Over the coming months, the funds will keep people in hotels as we work with Housing Solutions and A Way Home for Tulsa partners to achieve long-term housing. The fund will also help people with things like rent, security deposits and other housing-related costs.
 
As we help our neighbors transition from temporary shelter into long-term housing, we will be looking for landlords and property managers to partner with Housing Solutions and A Way Home for Tulsa community organizations to identify available rental units. Financial assistance will be available for landlords and property managers providing rental housing. Our neighbors will also receive case management services from community partners to assist with the transition to long-term housing.
