If you’re a small association, here’s one easy way to use member dues efficiently: Work out of a home office.

A recent question on AEI Year-Round garnered responses from 12 associations with fewer than 500 members whose AE is fully remote. Here are a few best practices if you’re thinking of joining the work-from-home bandwagon:

  • Meet with new agents at their office. Bonus: The broker gets to be involved!
  • Hold board meetings at different real estate offices.
  • Membership meetings can take place at local conference venues or restaurants.
  • Consider renting a small space just for storage or to receive mail.
  • Talk to your board about covering equipment, supplies, internet service, a landline and a portion of cellphone costs.
