Collin County Area REALTORS® & MetroTex Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors Approve Plan of Merger
WHAT IS IT?
On March 27, 2025, the Collin County Area REALTORS® and MetroTex Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors voted to approve a Plan of Merger. This vote allows both associations to participate in a due diligence period. By merging the two strongest associations in the region, we hope to take a significant step forward for the real estate industry in North Texas.
A unified association will wield greater influence in advocacy, provide expanded professional development opportunities, and offer more robust resources to every member. We will be better equipped to serve our communities, support our members’ success, and navigate the ever-changing landscape.
