While analyzing the WRA website, we found an alarming statistic: 18.5 percent of WRA members have never logged in. With the recent redesign and access to endless information, we thought it would be a good time to explain why you should log in and how easy it is.
Consider these facts:
- 54 percent of members spend more than 20 hours a week on the Internet.
- 50 percent of members indicate “Accessing Legal Services online” as the top reason for visiting WRA.org.
- 18.5 percent of membership has not logged into the WRA website.*
Why you should log in
As a part of your WRA membership, you have access to member-only information, such as Legal Services and myWRA. Within the myWRA section, members can view their purchase history, see what continuing education they have completed or need to complete, gain access to resources, and update their profile. With over 325,000 visits to the website and 17,000 searches on the Find-A-REALTOR® section last year, it is key for members to have updated information along with a professional picture. Your odds of being contacted are greatly increased.
Along with a number of online resources, being logged in to the website automatically gives you member pricing for education, products and events. Any online forms or purchases will automatically fill with your information, saving you time.
Online Member Benefits Include:
- Online Legal Search
- Legal Hottip Library
- Legal Update Library
- Broker Supervision News
- Education Discounts
- Sales and Marketing Tools
