Joining SAR and/or SMLS

New agents don't need to contact the association when they receive their license or change brokerage offices. Brokers/Participants/Designated REALTORS® are required to notify SAR and SMLS of all roster changes Brokers, please use this form to submit roster changes as it will create a secure record of your notification and send you a confirmation email for your records.

For all new members requiring MLS access, the first step is to complete the 'Paragon Online Academy.' Please note: While there are three classes in the Learning Center, only one is required. Click here for instructions. Submitting your Certificate of Completion to SAR staff will initiate step 2.

If you are joining the Sunflower Association but not joining Sunflower MLS, please email SAR Staff and proceed to step 2.

Once staff receives your Paragon Academy Certificate of Completion, you will receive a link to the online membership application via email. Select the type(s) of membership you are applying for. Licensees may belong to more than one association or MLS. The only distinction between primary and secondary association membership is that the national portion of dues is collected by the member’s primary association. There is no primary or secondary status for MLS memberships. Learn more about association membership types.

Agents - submit the application without the broker's signature. They will sign seperately.
