Affiliates | Omaha Area Board of REALTORS®

About Affiliates

The Affiliates Council promotes business relationships and the services of the OABR Affiliates to REALTOR® members. The Council promotes the ethical business practices of all affiliate members. The affiliate membership provides resources and expertise in many areas supporting real estate transactions and ownership. The Council contributes the “Affiliate Spotlight”, a column in the REview Newsletter, sponsors the OABR new member orientation and provides networking and charity events throughout the year.

Affiliates support an individual and collective commitment to six Standards of Excellence and tend to be leaders in their fields of expertise. The Affiliates operate with an executive board consisting of the President, President-elect, Secretary, Treasurer and various committee chairs which meet monthly.
