The Texas REALTORS® Accounting and Membership Department handles the association’s record-keeping so you can receive the services you rely on.
The Accounting team watches the association’s expenditures, from managing payroll and benefits for 70-plus staffers to maintaining accounts payable and receivable. Accounting pays the organization’s bills. These team members help compile the annual budget and monitor it throughout the year. They’re responsible for financial reporting as well.
Much of the department’s work involves interacting with databases and financial software. Accounting Specialist Katie Stefano processes payments to vendors and works on expenses related to the association’s credit cards and travel reimbursements, among other things.
The Membership team handles the paperwork for the more than 150,000-member association. Membership manages your records, bills you for dues, and processes your payments. They are the ones who help you with membership issues.
Membership Supervisor Camryn Ball answers members’ calls when they have trouble with their records or form access. “I have built great relationships with the local REALTOR® associations,” she says. “It’s great to have a friendly conversation with them and the members who call. I get to do a deep dive into new systems and help solve problems.”
“Our team’s daily focus is to serve members of Texas REALTORS® in every possible way that allows them access to their benefits when they need them,” says Susan Chichester, Controller/Membership Director.
The Texas REALTORS® Accounting and Membership Department is Debbie Adams, Senior MBM Bookkeeper; Camryn Ball, Membership Supervisor; Susan Chichester, Controller/Membership Director; Lillian Limuel, A/R Clerk; Paige Rodriguez, Membership Coordinator; Katie Stefano, Accounting Specialist; and Melissa Vazquez, Staff Accountant.
how much are yearly fees for realtors and mls
Hi Laura, the Annual Fees for Texas Realtors Association is $152 in 2024 and $157 in 2025. The MLS fees will depend on which MLS you subscribe to and which board you obtain the subscription through. I’m the Membership Manager over at Williamson County Association of REALTORS (newly named Five Points Board of Realtors after the merger with Bastrop County Board) if you have any questions!
