Industry Partnerships

The Association of Real Estate Professionals™ establishes structured partnerships with select service and technology providers that align with professional standards and deliver measurable economic value to our members.

Submit a Partnership Inquiry Select “Partnerships / Media”

Partnership inquiries are submitted through our contact form. Please choose “Partnerships / Media” as the subject and include your category, standard pricing, proposed AREPros™ member pricing, and confirmation of setup/activation fee waiver.

Baseline Partner Standard

We do not sell generic sponsorship placements. We approve partners based on alignment, reliability, transparency, and member impact. To be considered, partners must provide tangible, member-exclusive value.

Required Member Benefits

Setup / activation fees waived for active AREPros™ members
Exclusive discounted pricing reserved for AREPros™ members (not publicly available)
Clear terms (no hidden fees, bait-and-switch pricing, or short-term promo-only offers)
Standards alignment with professional conduct expectations

Partnership status may be revoked at the discretion of the Association if standards are not maintained. AREPros™ does not provide licensing, regulatory approval, or performance guarantees.

Why Inclusion Matters

AREPros™ partners are positioned inside a standards-driven professional association designed to serve the entire real estate ecosystem. Inclusion is meant to be credibility-forward, education-forward, and value-forward.

Professional alignment with a standards-based membership body
Member-exclusive benefits that increase adoption and retention
Education-first visibility through approved trainings and resources (when applicable)
Category positioning to reduce noise and improve partner clarity
Long-term partnership upside through performance-aligned growth

Hybrid Model

The Association uses a hybrid partnership structure to keep incentives aligned while prioritizing member value. In exchange for waived setup fees and exclusive member pricing, the Association may accept a reduced performance component.

Annual partnership alignment (base)
Performance-based component (affiliate, bounty, or closed-transaction share)
Measured member impact and standards review

Partnership Tiers

Tier placement is determined by category needs, member impact, partner capacity, and availability. Certain categories may be limited to maintain quality. Pricing is available below as a toggle to keep this page clean and consistent with the AREPros™ institutional design.
