What is REALTOR® Care?

REALTOR® Care is a Member Assistance Program that recognizes that we all have problems in our daily lives.  Many times we handle them on our own, but sometimes problems come along that we don't know how to handle, become overwhelming, and just don’t go away.

REALTOR® Care provides confidential, professional counseling to help you identify, cope and develop solutions for the problems you or your family may be experiencing. When you are faced with a problem, use REALTOR® Care as soon as possible. Early intervention and assistance may help you resolve a problem before it significantly affects your health, family or job.

The counseling staff at T.E.A.M (the REALTOR® Care service provider) are masters or doctoral prepared professionals with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.  A professional counselor can help you identify, prioritize, and cope with the problems you are experiencing. A counselor can also help you become aware of options and resources available to begin working toward a solution.

What is the cost of this program?

The fee for this program is only $25.00 per year. This fee covers counseling services for you and your immediate family or domestic partner. Sign up today. It’s nice to know it’s there if and when you need it.
