Yes. They provide some good things, but seem to focus on politics a lot. I've never seen any attempt by them to go directly to agents and ask agents what they would like to see as a member of NAR. Members can do self service and find out about many things that might interest them.

Yes. I do have a choice to not be. However, the way the structure is set up ... it costs me more to get MLS access if I am not.  It's all designed to strong-arm us into membership.  That's my humble opinion.
