Changes to the Atlanta Board of REALTORS Million Dollar Club for 2010 Million Dollar Club
As we embark upon the second century of the Atlanta Board of REALTORS, the Committee and Board of Directors decided it was time to make changes to the Million Dollar Club to more accurately reflect the cooperation necessary to sell property in today’s environment. The two major factors in this decision were 1) to eliminate the amount of commission as a factor in measuring performance in order to be open to all types of business models and 2) to encourage members to be consistent in their advertising of closed sales volume reported to the public. Overview Million Dollar Club
First Change:Calculation of volume credit will now be based exclusively on GROSS VOLUME Million Dollar Club
Second Change:Minimum Volume for 2010 Transactions will be $3 MILLION(based on gross volume) Million Dollar Club
Third Change:Name of the Club will change to The Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club Million Dollar Club
Fourth Change:The Award Year of the club will reflect the year the transactions occurred.(2010 transactions will be recognized at the 2010 Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club Banquet in March, 2011.) Million Dollar Club
How will Credit be Calculated Now? Million Dollar Club
Members participating on each side of the transaction may claim the final sales price as reflected on the HUD1 as the volume credit toward membership. Million Dollar Club
Million Dollar Club Example:Closed Sales Price = $200,000 Both the Listing Agent and the Selling Agent can claim $200,000 in volume credit on the MDC application.
Million Dollar Club The Committee made these changes based on numerous requests from the membership and believes the overall application process has been simplified and will be a more accurate reflection of the volume produced by our members.

Can I double the volume if I am the only agent involved in the transaction? No, you may not.

Going forward, it has been recommended that the practice of doubling sales volume for ranking purposes within each company be discontinued as well. FAQs Million Dollar Club
What if I co-list the property with someone else in my office, may we both claim the final sales price as volume credit? No. In this case, the volume must be divided evenly between the number of people on the listing side of the transaction.
