The REALTOR® family lost REALTOR® Sue Wilkinson on Sunday, March 22, 2020.
We would like to let you know of an important change in the way we accept payments.
Effective May 1, 2020, we will no longer accept cash and checks as payment options. Both, the Board of Directors for Central Mississippi REALTORS and the Board of Directors for Central Mississippi MLS adopted this policy change regarding payment of dues and fees.
During this unprecedented time, the National Association of REALTORS® understands that access to health care options may be top of mind for members. Telemedicine is playing an essential role today as we navigate uncharted territory and the need for virtual healthcare.
NAR is supporting members by funding 2 months of Members TeleHealth as a benefit for those who do not currently have access to telemedicine, with an ongoing significantly-reduced rate available for members thereafter.
Enrollment is limited*. Sign-up by April 15th.
Use caution when providing MAR's new COVID-19 Termination Form to clients. The intent to cancel a contract must be agreed upon mutually, and the reason must be based solely upon that of The Emergency described in line three. The interpretation of a client using the form to terminate a contract for any other reason could be misrepresentation, fraud, or both.
Some violations of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics are cut and dry; they are not subjective and not distorted by interpretation. In those incidences, the Respondent, the one with a complaint filed against them, has the choice: (a) pay a fine and the matter is closed or (b) request a hearing before Professional Standards Committee

Alex Manuel, Accountant at Central Mississippi REALTORS, began studying accounting part-time at Hinds Community College in 2010 while working as a proofreader at Haddox, Reid, Burkes & Calhoun (now Haddox, Reid, Eubank & Betts). She transferred to Mississippi College in 2012 and continued to earn her degree while working full-time, graduating in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. She then returned to Mississippi College for graduate school while working as a sales and use tax auditor for the State of Mississippi Department of Revenue, and, in 2020, she completed a Master of Business Administration with Accounting concentration.
NAR's Center for REALTOR® Development is offering 30% off all online courses through Mar 31, 2020. There is no better time than now to earn a new NAR designation.
Making friends on social media is a good thing unless the friendship intends to interfere with an existing listing agreement another REALTOR® has with a seller client. Posting a comment on a listed seller’s social media page that you’d love to help him sell his home is a violation of the Code of Ethics. Only after the listing has expired can contact be made, making such solicitations.
