| Q:
		 Can anyone join a chapter? | 
	| 
                   
			| A: | We only take one person per professional specialty. So if you are a residential real estate person and we already have one, we can refer you to another chapter, or allow you to open another chapter.  Of course, if you are a commercial real estate person, you could be eligible to join this chapter. |  |

	| Q:
		 How do you know new members are reputable? | 
	| 
                   
			| A: | The application asks for references and we have a membership committee that checks them. It's word of mouth, so before they even come to a meeting they have to have spoken to someone or been invited by someone in the group. Everyone has to have a sponsor, or one is assigned to them, and they interview them. |  | 
		
|  | 
	| Q:
		 What if a member gets a referral and does poor work? | 
	| 
                   
			| A: | We have an ethics committee and it is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and finds out it was not satisfactorily handled must report that to the membership committee, who will investigate. |  |
