Your NMAR membership gives you access to essential tools and support that help your business run efficiently, save time, and close deals faster.

Key Tools for Your Success

NMAR Staff Support

Our team is here to support you with all things membership. While questions about MLS, SentriLock, or forms are best handled directly through their respective providers, NMAR staff are your go-to resource for navigating your membership and making the most of NMAR benefits. Think of them as your personal business support team.

SentriLock Access

Secure property showings and accurate tracking are a breeze with SentriLock. With the SentriConnect app, you can manage lockboxes, access codes, and showings directly from your phone — keeping everything organized and efficient for you and your clients.

Bonus: NMAR sells SentriLock boxes right in the office! Call ahead to make sure we have stock and allow time for setup before you come in. This ensures a smooth experience and lets you hit the ground running with your new lockbox.

Member Portal

The Member Portal is your central hub for NMAR resources. Quickly access:

  • News, updates, and event registrations
  • Continuing education registration (bonus: it’s also where you’ll see CE deadlines and reminders)
  • Local scam alerts & updates
  • Network with other REALTORS® and affiliate members in Member Connect, located in the Member Portal

By keeping everything centralized, the Member Portal saves you time, keeps your business organized, helps you stay informed and secure, and provides opportunities to build meaningful connections within the local real estate community.

Market Reports

NMAR provides members with timely Market Reports and local data so you can make smarter, data-driven business decisions. These insights help you advise clients confidently and price properties strategically.

Additional Membership Resources

NMAR membership also gives you access to powerful tools and platforms through your affiliation with Montana Regional MLS, MAR, and NAR:

Why These Tools Matter

  • Efficiency & Time-Saving: With access to MLS, lockbox tools, forms, market reports, scam alerts, networking via Member Connect, and office resources like in-stock signs, you can focus on clients instead of administrative headaches.
  • Professionalism & Credibility: Clients notice when you’re organized, up-to-date, and supported by a professional association.
  • Built-In Support & Extended Resources: NMAR staff guide you through education, ethics, events, and local advocacy, while affiliated platforms from MAR and NAR give you the tools to manage your transactions effectively.

Pro Tip

Use the Member Portal to access Market Reports, register for classes, stay updated on NMAR events, review scam alerts from local agents, and network through Member Connect. Manage lockboxes and showings easily with the SentriConnect app, and call ahead if you plan to pick up a SentriLock box or in-stock sign at the office — this ensures we have it ready and set up for you. For MLS or forms questions, contact MRMLS or MAR for the fastest support.
