Register Your Assistants

connectMLS will only allow for one login per name and password issued.  It is imperative that you register your assistants with the Membership Department if they will be required to login and work on your behalf. The assistant paperwork will be processed within 2 business days and an email will be sent to the individual making the request.  See link to registration forms below.

Once the Participant/Subscriber has been notified by email follow these steps:
Go to the “setup” tab from the login page and click on “setup my assistants” add the assistant.
The assistant will go to the login screen for connectMLS and click on “new user or forgot my password”.  They will be asked for an email address (it is important that the email address given match the email address provided on the registration form).  Almost immediately a reply will be sent providing the password.

Unlicensed Assistants to be included on Broker’s MLS Billing
To register an unlicensed assistant click here.
Unlicensed assistants registered with MLS will be billed at the rate of $30 per calendar quarter beginning 2nd quarter.
If an assistant is signed up after the first month of a calendar qtr. they will be assessed a prorated amount at $10 per month. (note: the proration only applies if the assistant was not on file the previous qtr.)
Brokers will be responsible for reporting to SABOR member services when an assistant is no longer with the office.

Licensed Assistants continue to pay the full MLS
To register a licensed assistant click here.
Licensed assistants will pay the full MLS fee.
In order for a licensee to be given assistant access they must be in the same office as the individual that they will be working as an assistant to.

SABOR offers four different types of membership.

REALTOR® Membership requires applicants to hold an active real estate license and be active in the real estate business. In addition, applicants must be affiliated with or work for a Designated REALTOR® who has an office open to the public, where business can be conducted.

Designated Realtor Membership/ New Company Membership requires the applicant to have an active Texas broker’s license and be a corporate office, sole proprietor or partner in the real estate business. Applicants must have a clean record regarding unprofessional conduct and bankruptcy.

Primary Affiliate Membership requires the applicant to be in a business connected to real estate, but cannot hold an active real estate license. Affiliate members should have goals similar to those of SABOR, be interested in real estate, and be interested in SABOR events, which may be of value to them.

Additional Affiliate Membership is granted to individuals whose company is already a primary Affiliate member.
