REALTOR Association of the Fox Valley Enhanced Member Services

Discover how the REALTOR Association of the Fox Valley (RAFV) upgraded to GrowthZone AMS to streamline workflows, enhance member experiences, and provide more value to its 1,850+ members.

Upgraded Tools for a Growing Association

REALTOR Association of the Fox Valley needed an AMS that could handle day-to-day operations, integrate seamlessly with NRDS, lockbox systems, and MLS platforms, and give staff intuitive tools to manage memberships, billing, and communications.

Integrated Billing

Automated processes for dues and eCommerce transactions reduce errors and save staff time.

Robust Reporting

Intuitive reporting features allow staff to generate their own reports and track member activity with ease.

Engagement Tools

Marketing automation, mobile app, and member forum modules help engage members and support association growth.

Responsive Support

RAFV enjoys dedicated project managers, tutorials, and one-on-one support that ensure smooth onboarding and ongoing assistance.

The Challenge

RAFV was struggling to deliver the services and programs its members expected. “We were not able to deliver the services and programs our members expected with our old AMS system,” said the RAFV team. The previous platform was difficult to navigate, with weak customer support and frequent upgrade costs that offered low value. Staff workflows were clunky, which negatively impacted the member experience. It was clear that the association needed a forward-thinking platform that could simplify operations, support growth, and provide reliable, responsive support.

The Solution

GrowthZone AMS provided RAFV with the user-friendly, comprehensive tools it had been seeking. “GrowthZone AMS had solutions to everything that we were looking for,” the team said. Staff quickly embraced the platform, enjoying intuitive reporting, simplified billing, and integrated event and website management. Beyond the software itself, RAFV valued the partnership with GrowthZone, which offered personalized training, one-on-one guidance, and responsive support every step of the way. The system gave staff the flexibility to manage day-to-day operations efficiently while supporting the association’s long-term growth.

The Results

Since implementing GrowthZone AMS, RAFV has experienced a significant improvement in both efficiency and member service. “World-class customer service you can always count on—we give them a 10 out of 10 rating,” said the team. Staff can now easily generate reports, manage billing and events, and provide more resources to members through a platform integrated with NRDS. RAFV appreciates the intuitive tools for reporting, website management, and communications, as well as the proactive support that includes personalized video guides. “We have a true partnership with GrowthZone. It’s not a vendor-consumer type of relationship—it’s a team and a partnership,” the team added, emphasizing how the platform has transformed operations and empowered staff to focus on what matters most: serving members.

I look forward to working with GrowthZone for years to come (never thought I would ever say that about an AMS).
