All you need to be is licensed. In many states the courts have held that the MLS must be open to everyone, although they are typically owned by the local Board of Realtors. The MLS is localized, typically to a single metro area, so check with your local MLS to see what their rules are.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, it would be restraint of trade for the state to force you to join the National Association of Realtors.

I don't think my board requires that its members be Realtors to get access to the MLS but some boards might. Check with your local board.<br><b>References : </b><br>Realtor in CA You are correct, you do not need to be a "Realtor" to sell real estate in CA but you do need to be licensed through the department of real estate (www.dre.ca.gov).

You simply have to be licensed. A Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors.
