GrowthZone’s Real Estate Association Software features integration with the National REALTOR® Database System (NRDS). Upon installation, you will work with your dedicated onboarding project manager to configure your settings for seamless syncing and integrate your data for worry-free records maintenance.
What Is the NRDS Database?
The Realtor NRDS database is run by the National Association of REALTORS. Professional realtors receive nine-digit numbers printed on wallet cards that act as passports to a wide variety of benefits and services available at the local, state, and national levels. Much like a social security number, the NRDS ID distinguishes individuals from one another and follows them when they relocate or join other associations.
With an NRDS ID, realtors can:
- Provide the number to prospective clients for easy verification of credentials.
- Register for classes, conferences, and events.
- Obtain discounts on insurance, products, services, and events.
- Access forms, templates, software solutions, and resources in the NAR library.
How Does the NRDS Integration Help My Association?
The duty of making adds, drops, and changes falls upon the local association or, in some cases, the state association acting on behalf of a local office. The associations act as the Point of Entry to ensure data accuracy, though members can also access their NRDS records to update personal contact information.
- Members will have trouble accessing benefits if they cannot verify the proper membership and account status.
- Failure to keep information accurately updated can result in confusing and burdensome errors that must be identified and corrected.
GrowthZone’s Realtor Management Software offers an innovative solution to maintain parity among local, state, and national membership records.
Benefits of NRDS Integration with Growthzone
GrowthZone’s NRDS database integration provides association staff with an easy way to manage their local and state members’ data shared with the National Association of REALTORS. Select data entered or changed in GrowthZone is automatically pushed to NRDS, thereby updating agent and office records in NRDS.
