FAQs regarding renewals
Q) Which credit cards are accepted for dues payments?
A) We accept VISA and MASTERCARD.
Q) Will CARW accept check payment for dues?
A)Yes! We just ask that check payments be submitted well in advance of December 31 to allow sufficient time for processing and ensure they are received by the deadline.
Q) Are CARW fees tax deductible?
A) Under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, local associations can no longer include local lobbying expenses in the deductible portion of a member’s annual dues. Local lobbying expenses must now be added to the non-deductible dues amount, along with state and national dues. As a result, the CARW calculated the nondeductible portion of your local Membership Dues as $0.00. This means CARW local dues are 100% deductible. Please consult a tax professional to ensure you are receiving the best possible deduction.
Q) Does CARW have an installment plan?
A) Unfortunately, CARW does not offer an installment plan. However, please contact alexis@carw.com or give us a call at 414-253-7939 and we will do our best to work with you!
Q) How can I support CARW with sponsorship?
A) You can find our sponsorship offerings here. If you have questions or are looking for other opportunities. Contact membership@carw.com and we will work with you!
Q) Are dues refundable?
A) Dues are non-refundable.
Q) Can I transfer my membership to another person in my office?
A) For REALTOR® members, dues are tied to the individual and are therefore non-transferable. For affiliate members, we ask that you notify us before renewing so we can update the membership and bill the dues to the new member record.
