STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
Hey new agents! Congratulations on passing the Real Estate Exam and getting your license! After passing the exam, your background checks should either be processing or has already processed. Kelly, our Designated Principle Broker, will pull your licensed to our brokerage. After the background checks and license-pulling are complete, you'll want to complete the items listed below in order...
1. PMAR (Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors)
Head over to https://pmar.org/realtor-app/ to complete the PMAR application. You'll be able to pay the PMAR fees within the application and select the start date.
2. NRDS # (Sent to the Agent Services Coordinator)
After that is complete, you'll receive a "Welcome" email within 24 hours or so. That email should have the NRDS# that is required for your RMLS Subscriber Form. Send that over to Austin either in an email or text and he can put it on the RMLS form for you.
His contact email: asc@kwportlandpremiere.com

From past experiences, they are pretty quick to answer.
