FAQs Answers for 2019-2020 Billing
“How many payments can I make?”
Your best choice is to pay IN FULL by June 11 because you save $75 and receive incentives valued up to $220. However, we are offering a three (3) payment option this dues billing year. Our three-payment option is available with no additional fees as long as the credit card charge is not declined.
“Are you going to mail my bill?”
No. You will receive your invoice and reminders electronically via email and text messaging. To opt in to our text messaging notices please text “JOIN” to 29500.
“How can I get a copy of my bill?”
Yes. You can view and download a copy of your invoice by going to our website, www.miamirealtors.com. Log into The MIAMI Gateway and then click “My MIAMI Dashboard.”
“What is the MIAMI REALTORS PAC Investment and do I have to pay it?”
The amount on your invoice is a suggested contribution for real estate professionals, which allows members to support LOCAL, STATE & NATIONAL candidates and issues that are important to the real estate profession and your livelihood. Your contribution is voluntary, but we highly encourage you to do so because our PAC works to save you money! Here are some examples:
▪ RPAC Win – Our efforts worked to extend the 10% property tax cap on non-homestead properties permanently – Amendment 2 Passed with 66.49% Approval in Nov. 2018.
▪ RPAC Win – Our efforts helped passed Assignment of Benefits (AOB) Reform to stop fraud and reduce increases in homeowner’s insurance premiums.
▪ RPAC Win – Our efforts help continue the fight for $500K of state funds to combat unlicensed real estate activity.
▪ You may give the suggested amount, opt out, give less – or give MORE!
“When is the last day before I get a late charge/am considered ‘late’ “?
Your renewal is due upon receipt, and your payment will be considered late on August 7. At that time you will incur a $50 late fee, and your MIAMI services/education, MLS, and Supra access will continue to be suspended until you contact us with payment.
“Will you suspend my MLS if I can’t pay on time?”
Yes. If you have not paid or entered in a payment plan or are not current on a payment plan prior to July 9, your association service includes but not limited to MLS and Supra. A $50 late fee will be added after August 6 for non-payment.
“How long will it take for my MIAMI services to get reactivated once paid?”
Once payment has been received and processed, please allow up to 24 hours for all services to be restored.
What happens when I enter in a 3 payment plan and one of my payments fails?
If one of your payments is declined, all services will be suspended until the delinquency has been resolved and a $30 processing fee will be added for EACH payment failure. Please NOTE: all remaining/scheduled payment dates will remain the same regardless of the date when any payment fails to authorize.
Do I still have to pay my dues if I place my license as voluntarily Inactive?
No. If you place your license as voluntarily Inactive in DBPR, you are under no obligation to pay your annual dues. However, if you decide to activate your license any time prior to July 1 of the following year, the amount due for your membership to Florida REALTORS®, the National Association of REALTORS® and the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® will not be prorated and payment options may be limited.
“How do I know what MLS platform is my primary choice and can I change it?”
Unless you have opted for the Platinum Plus subscription, you will be able to determine which MLS platform you chose by logging into your dashboard page. ONLY the icon for the MLS you chose will be visible. You can change to the other MLS platform anytime for a cost of $25.00.
“How long do I have to use my Education Credits?”
If you pay in full prior to June 11, your account will show an Education Credit which can be used towards approved Association courses. The approved class must be redeemed for classes held on or before February 28, 2020. You must send an email to registration@miamire.com no later than 48 hours in advance of the class to use a credit.

- Bonus: You can take one (1) “NAR designation” course for only $40.
