    Newly Licensed Agents

    1. Membership with your local association of realtors and the Texas Association of Realtors is required of all 6th Ave Homes Guides. This membership gives you access to MLS and tons of great resources.

    To sign up, email membership@GFWAR.org with to schedule your new applicant meeting.

    2. Make sure you also sign up for a SUPRA lockbox account. We recommend purchasing your first Supra Box at this time too. GFWAR should walk you through how to use your SUPRA key which requires downloading the “eKEY” app to your phone.

    3. You will also be required to attend a New Member Orientation Class, Matrix MLS Training, and NAR Code of Ethics Class before you gain MLS access.

    Note: the Ethics class can be done online and takes about an hour. They will provide the details on the Matrix MLS Training.

    4. Once you have MLS access, create an online account.



    For Experienced Agents transferring from Metrotex, ARBOR, or any other Association:

    You can fully transfer your membership by requesting a letter of good standing from your current association and sharing it with GFWAR by sending an email to membership@gfwar.com.

    GFWAR will email you a transfer form to complete your transition.

  • Like most brokerages, all of our real estate agents are considered independent contractors instead of employees. This means that we do not withhold any taxes (state, federal, or local) for any of our agents. Additionally, this means we do not pay any sort of base salary, nor do we require agents to work or keep certain hours. We do not pay by the hour, nor are we responsible for any state unemployment compensation. As an independent contractor, you will be responsible for all tax obligations and will make and keep your own hours.

    We require all of our agents to fill out and sign an independent contractor agreement.

    ***We will send you over your Independent Contractor Agreement for execution through Docusign.***

  • Use an existing team member’s bio as a template to help you get started.

    When completed, send it to Victoria Capps (victoria@6thavehomes.com) to be added to the website. We will schedule headshots after receiving your bio!

  • This is one of the most important form you will need as a Realtor. If you do not provide this to all customers and prospective customers, you will be liable for BIG fines and loss of license. This needs to be given at first contact with prospective clients.

    You can get the pre-filled 6AH IABS HERE.

    Additionally, a link to YOUR form will need to be linked in the body of any e-mails with prospective clients. This is most simply done by saving your filled out PDF to your Google Drive, copying the share link from the “Share” button in the top corner of the page (be sure to check your sharing permissions), and hyperlinking to the PDF in your email signature.

    Youtube can be a great help with this if you’re having trouble!
