Member Benefits

NHCIBOR is dedicated to providing members with the resources to fulfill their professional licensing requirements. We offer new member orientations, core classes and electives on a yearly basis.

New Member Orientation

Only Realtor members are required to take orientation. Affiliate members are encourage to attend, but are not required. Each two-hour class provides a history of CIBOR, NAR and NHAR, and explains the REALTOR® code of ethics.

In order to be a NHCIBOR member, it is mandatory to attend NHAR orientation alongside the NHCIBOR orientation. The NHAR orientation covers the Triennial Code of Ethics of NAR.

Core Courses

NHCIBOR sponsors the mandatory Core Course 1-2 times per year. The Core Course is the mandatory renewal course for all New Hampshire real estate licensees. It is taught by a practicing commercial real estate broker and focuses on how the laws and rules apply to commercial brokerage.

Electives

The first three  Quarterly Meetings of each year include an educational component. These meetings are approved for 2-3 hours of continuing education elective credits.

Professional Development Series

The Professional Development Series is a great tool that is provided to our members and affiliates. Each session is free to members and provides a continuing education opportunity for our entire membership. Sessions feature top industry professionals and cover topics ranging from law to construction to technology. These sessions are managed by the Education Committee and typically provide continuing education credits for attendees.

The Professional Development Series sessions are held throughout the year. Check the Events Calendar for up-to-date listing and information on these events.

This series is organized by the Education Committee, but is fueled by the collaboration within our member base. We look to our members to advise us on topics they would like offered, and we look to our affiliates to share their expertise on relevant topics that they would enjoy speaking on. Please reach out to the Education Committee Chair with any suggestions.

Governmental policies and actions directly influence the transfer and sale of real properties. NHCIBOR is dedicated to keeping members informed about governmental issues related to commercial real estate. Some examples include zoning, development, construction infrastructure, and economic development issues.

NHCIBOR collaborates with NHAR to provide members with active and informed legislative advocacy. Our Governmental Affairs Committee consists of realtors who volunteer their time alongside their knowledge and interest in governmental affairs and public policies that impact commercial real estate and economic development. This Committee utilizes the services of an on-staff Government Affairs Director and engages the services of a lobbyist firm.

A summary of federal, state and local issues and legislative resources can be found on our Advocacy page.

NHCIBOR Governmental Affairs Committee:

The Governmental Affairs Committee focuses on monitoring statewide legislation; keeping the state association directors informed on proposed governmental actions being considered; assisting in the drafting of policies and or legislation affecting commercial real estate issues; and raising funds for Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) and Issues Mobilization Fund (IMF).
