The Society of Commercial REALTORS® (SCR) is
an organization of commercial real estate professionals
in Tarrant County and surrounding areas that operates
independently and under the auspices of GFWAR. SCR has
its own governing body and bylaws, and its chief mission
is to advance knowledge, education and integrity in
the fields of commercial and investment real estate.
SCR provides a number of benefits for its members that
include:
- Exposure – SCR offers commercial
practitioners a broad range of opportunities to market
properties. Also,
members receive exposure in the member directory on
the GFWAR & SCR Web sites.
- Networking – SCR is one of
the few organizations in Tarrant County where commercial
real estate professionals can network specifically
with other commercial practitioners, opening doors
to deal making opportunities.
- REALTOR® Name – Because
SCR is under the umbrella of GFWAR, its members adhere
to the ethical and professional standards that all
REALTOR® members follow. Therefore, the REALTOR®
name gives credibility and accountability to all SCR
members.
- Education – Offering commercial
MCE classes, designation courses, and technology and
industry updates, SCR is on the forefront in providing
its members the tools needed to stay competitive within
the ever-changing field of commercial real estate.
- Governmental Affairs – Monitoring
issues that affect commercial real estate on the local,
state and national levels, SCR lobbies for positive
legislation and works to defend its members from legislation
that might have negative effects on the commercial
real estate industry.
- Professional Development –
With opportunities available to serve on committees
and on the Board of Governors, SCR provides its members
a means to develop their leadership and professional
skills. In addition, awards of merit are given to
those members who exemplify these skills. GFWAR also
offers professional development opportunities to prepare
members for leadership not only on the local level,
but on the state and national levels
as well.
- Membership Directory – All
SCR members receive access to the online SCR and GFWAR member directories, which lists all
GFWAR / SCR members' contact information. These directories
allow SCR members the ability to easily contact one
another with speed and efficiency.
- SCR
Member-to-Member E-mails – All SCR members have access to the Members Only portion of the SCR Web site located at
www.scr-fw.org and can send e-mails to
all SCR members with a click of a button by logging-in
to this portion of the SCR Web site.
- Cost Break – SCR members
receive a cost break on admission to monthly breakfast meetings and various other
SCR events. In addition, SCR offers price reductions for SCR-sponsored classes
and merchandise from the REALTOR® store.
- Professional Standards –
Since all REALTORS® must adhere to the NAR Code
of Ethics, it’s the duty of GFWAR to educate
its members regarding this ethical code and administer
a course of action to those who do not comply. SCR
falls under this standard as well, keeping a little
“law and order” among practitioners.
- REALTOR® Benefits – Members
of SCR receive REALTOR® benefits such as free
legal consultation and advice, marketing tools, entry
into discount programs and forms and contracts provided
by the Texas Association of REALTORS®.
