The Silver City Regional Association of REALTORS® does not hold any pre licensing classes. However, we do offer continuing education courses to enable our members and others to complete their license renewal requirements.
The Silver City Regional Association of REALTORS® is one of more than 1,800 local real estate boards and associations which together constitute the National Association of REALTORS®. The purpose of the Association is to unite the real estate industry and to provide services for its members that they cannot provide for themselves.
