JREC Operation ThankFULL is here!

We’re kicking off a brand-new Inter-Brokerage Contest to spread gratitude and support our troops!

Here’s how it works:

Local brokerages will compete to collect the MOST items to fill sacks for our brave men and women who serve our country.

The winning brokerage earns bragging rights AND a trophy to keep (and defend!) for a year.

This friendly rivalry is about more than competition — it’s about community, service, and showing appreciation for those who sacrifice for us every day.

Drop-off your donations at:

Blair & Co. REALTORS® – 3290 S 2nd St, Ste. C, Cabot, AR 72023

REMAX Home Finders – 300 T P White Dr, Jacksonville, AR 72076

Need help with a donation pick-up? Email: heather@blairrealtors.com

Let’s join together, show our gratitude, and make Operation ThankFULL a huge success!

Trouble Signing into Forms Simplicity?

First, please check to see if your email address has changed. The email address you signed up with when joining GCBOR is the one that Forms recognizes as you. If you have changed your email address and have not changed it at REALTOR.org or asked NPBOR to do it for you, Forms will look for the old email address.

Please notify us at staci@gcborAR.com of any changes to your email address, home address, or phone number so we can keep your file as accurate as possible!

Starting this year, all National Association of REALTORS® members will be required to complete approved fair housing training in sync with the three-year Code of Ethics cycle from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2027. You can satisfy this requirement online at no cost with Fairhaven 2.0, NAR’s innovative fair housing education requirement.

Go here to complete this requirement

Code of Ethics (CoE) vs. Continuing Education (CE)

The Code of Ethics is a course each NAR-ARA-GCBOR member takes upon joining the association and every three years in a cycle, for the duration of your membership. The Code of Ethics is what distinguishes a REALTOR from a real estate agent. In order to reaffirm your commitment to being a REALTOR you must retake the course every three years. It is online at nar.realtor for FREE.

The current cycle is Cycle 8 and runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027.

Your Code of Ethics is not necessarily a continuing education class. It can be, but it is not CE unless clearly stated by the instructor.

Each time you take a Code of Ethics course, either online or through a licensed instructor, it is the agent's responsibility to send a copy to their local board for compliance and entry into the M1 system.

Code of Ethics does not go to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission; it goes to your local board for entry into the M1 database.

CE is what is required by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission for you to maintain a license to practice real estate in Arkansas.
