Suspended agents are re-billed with the $10 late fee and MLS service is suspended. This means your membership with MAAR will remain active, but you will not have MLS access. Brokers will receive an email summary statement listing their agents that have not paid MLS fees. Brokers have until Jan 31 to complete one of the following to avoid office wide suspension:
• Ensure the agent pays.
• Pay on behalf of the agent.
• Terminate the agent's affiliation with their company and inactivate their license with the Department of Commerce.

Effective April 1, 2010, we implemented Direct Agent MLS billing. Agents with access to the MLS are now responsible to pay their individual MLS bill directly to MAAR.
New Agents
Your first quarter of MLS fees will be billed on a monthly prorated basis. The fee will be collected with your membership dues at the time of application.
Transferring In
If you are an agent that is transferring to MAAR from another local association, MAAR will verify with your previous association if MLS fees have already been paid. If you have already paid your previous association for the current quarter, MAAR will not collect MLS fees for that quarter. MLS billing will start at the next calendar quarter. If you have not yet paid your previous association for billed MLS fees, MAAR will collect those amounts at the time of application.
Transferring Out
If you are an agent that is transferring to another local association from MAAR, and you have already paid for the current quarter’s MLS fees, you will not be required to pay your new association for the current quarter. If you have outstanding MLS fees at the time of transfer, your new association will collect the current quarter’s MLS fee at the time of application.
MLS invoices are ebilled. To ensure that you receive your bill via email, please verify that the email address we have on file is correct:
