Business Associates and Vendors have access to a fast growing membership of individuals focused on investing in real estate. This is a built-in audience of people that have a need of your services. Besides the obvious benefit of reducing your cost to reach this pre-qualified group, you may participate in defined marketing and networking opportunities.
Please review the specifics of AZREIA Business Associate and Vendor Program below. If you would like to be considered for membership, please complete the information on our Business Associate Enrollment Form.
If you have any questions, please call the AZREIA office at 480-990-7092 and ask for Maureen.
AZREIA Business Membership is offered in two categories:
- Business Associate: An AZREIA Business Associate is committed to a high level of support for the association and agrees to help AZREIA reach its vision and deliver on its mission. While not required, it is expected that AZREIA Business Associates will participate in AZREIA sponsored events, community programs and, where practical, support our lobbying efforts. Educational, speaking, marketing and other opportunities are available to Business Associates. The number of Business Associates is limited in each category. In addition to our normal qualification requirements a Business Associate will usually need multiple AZREIA member referrals to be invited to join. Completion of our Business Associate contract is required.
- Vendor: An AZREIA Vendor is an organization that offers services or products to the real estate investor, but doesn’t have the time or desire to actively participate in the association. Vendors want to be part of AZREIA to support our mission and offer their services or products to members without active participation in the association. Vendor membership is by invitation after completion of our qualification process. Completion of our Vendor contract is required. Vendors are given priority to become Business Associates should an opening become available in the category.
