I think it's a good idea. It means you're not marketing to Realtors, and any general public group that does not include Realtors will help you, and our industry, in the long run.

NACHI just joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and every NACHI member will soon be getting all the membership benefits that the Chamber has. Coming in 2 weeks or so.

That is very cool about the US Chamber of Commerce, and the benefits for all NACHI members. Thank you.

Our local Chamber sends its members a list of real estate transactions every month. Good help for my mailings.

Thanks Nick!

Joining the chamber is only as good as what u put into it. If you join the committees, and show up for all the functions, you will get something out of it. If you just join and wait for business to come to you, you have just wasted your money.

IMHO that is true for any organization. There is even one person here who basically tells people that just because they are members of NACHI, their business will increase by leaps and bounds.

i was considering joining our local Chamber, but haven't done so yet. I've also noticed several HI's here are associate members of the local board of realtors.
Do any of you have opinions on that? I know 1 realty publication you HAVE to be a member of their association to advertise in it. So, that might help.

Back to the original thought - what does the chamber offer anyone in their area?

Chambers are like any other networking group in that you get out of it what you put into it. Givers gain!
