A reminder regarding dues billing
An email reminder sent earlier today to Realtors was attached to the wrong template. It was an error if you are a Realtor and received an email referring to Affiliate billing. Please refer to the bill attached to the email - which is correct - and should show Realtor billing amounts.
Auto billing for VBR's 2024 dues will take place on December 15. If you have a card set up for autopayment for your *annual dues, it will be charged on that date.
Payment is due by Sunday, December 31st.
*Note: Auto pay for monthly MLS dues is separate. Please check your card on file if you're not certain you are set up for annual dues.
