BRR has a variety of resources created specifically for Designated REALTORS® and managing brokers, whether or not they have agents affiliated with their brokerage. If you are not currently a broker member of BRR, visit our Become a Member page or contact our Membership Team to get your brokerage set up (208-376-0363)!
The Broker Bulletin is a weekly newsletter for Designated REALTORS® and managing brokers that covers legal, marketing, and business best practices, as well as industry updates and event information. If you are a Designated REALTOR® or managing broker and are not receiving this newsletter but would like to, please contact taylor@boirealtors.com.
The purpose of the First Friday Legal Forum is to facilitate connections and conversations between Designated REALTORS® and Managing Brokers on issues such as risk management, agency/representation, agent-to-agent communication, dispute resolution, professionalism, laws and policies, as well as local market practices, brokerage management, oversight, and agent support… or whatever other topics are suggested by our broker members through the form below.
Sessions will typically have a pre-planned topic, but not necessarily prepared content or presentations. These will be open discussions providing Designated REALTORS® and Managing Brokers the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions related to that month’s topic, and learn from each other while building relationships within our brokerage community. To give brokers a place to ask questions privately, we do not record these sessions.
Please note: This event is only open to designated and managing brokers, not agents or representatives on behalf of the broker – to allow open discussion amongst peers. Additionally, questions should be centered around the discussion topic. If you would like to submit a topic for a future First Friday Legal Forum, please use the form below.

The National Association of REALTORS® Broker Involvement Program provides brokers with a quick and effective tool to rally their agents on critical legislative issues affecting the real estate industry.
Through this program, NAR sends out calls for action (CFA) that Brokers can then share with their agents, asking them to lend their support to these critical issues.
The goal of this program is to increase REALTOR® participation in legislative issues and research has shown that when agents receive CFA’s from their Broker rather than from NAR, the average response rates are significantly higher.
How does it work?
NAR will alert you by email when there is a state or national call for action (usually three to five a year). Then, if you registered for the auto-participation plan, NAR will automatically send the CFA directly to your agents with your name and company logo. You also have the option to review and approve these emails before they are sent on your behalf. Either way, the Broker Involvement Program makes it easy to get your agent’s support on important industry issues.
Why should you get involved?
The Broker Involvement Program provides you and your agents with a voice in state houses and on Capitol Hill. Nothing needs to be downloaded or purchased — Managing/Designated Brokers have unlimited, free access to the Broker Portal.
You can learn more about this program on NAR’s Broker Involvement website.
