Allow GTR s Affiliate Program to assist in your search! We welcome any business that is an allied field to the real estate industry. Our REALTOR members depend on local businesses to provide quality products and services to their clients. Affiliates are trusted business partners of the Association and are the only businesses allowed to sponsor classes, attend networking events and advertise to our membership. We started our business in 2008 just when the market was falling people thought we were crazy. Shortly thereafter, we joined GTR and began sponsoring as many classes as we could. This not only provided support to the organization, but it helped us to become more knowledgeable so that we were able to provide a better service. Thanks to Affiliate membership with GTR, we have doubled our business every year! Robert and Michelle Southard HouseMaster Home Inspections

They have pledged to follow a 100-year-old Code of Ethics and have taken additional ethics courses to maintain the highest level of integrity. Our REALTORS specialize in several market segments, including residential, commercial and international real estate, property management and land development. I joined GTR as an Affiliate and was thrilled with the opportunities presented to our company. The monthly meetings were a great way to get my feet wet and to learn about the exciting opportunities to get in front of professional REALTORS. The events throughout the year solidified my business relationships and helped my marketing dollars go further than I could have hoped!
