Membership FAQ's

We are delighted that you have an interest in CREW membership. If your question is not answered here, please contact the CREW Dallas Office.

To join CREW Dallas, how many years must I have worked in the commercial real estate industry?

A Full Member must have 5 years of continuous experience in one of the primary or secondary disciplines outlined in the membership application and be presently employed in commercial real estate. CREW Dallas is now proud to offer an associate level membership where individuals who have less than 5 years of experience can join as well! Other than the years of experience, Associate Members share the same membership requirements outlined in the membership application.

How many sponsors are required to support an application for membership?

Two members in good standing from the CREW Dallas chapter must support the application.

What if I do not know any members?

Applicants in this situation should prepare and submit the application along with a cover letter requesting assistance with finding two sponsors.

How much are annual dues?

The 2010 annual dues for Full Members is $495, of which $160 is retained by CREW Network and $335 by CREW Dallas. For Associate Members, the 2010 annual dues is a total of $250, of which CREW Network retains $160. Upon acceptance, new members will be invoiced by CREW Network.

How are applications reviewed?

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Once the application is received in full, the CREW Dallas Office sends it to the New Member Recruiting Committee who conducts the review by verifying information submitted and reviewing references. Once the review is complete, the recommendation and application goes on to CREW Dallas' Board of Directors for a vote. With 2/3 vote approval, the applicant is notified of membership by the CREW Office. The process typically takes 30-45 days.

What commercial real estate disciplines are represented?

The chapter maintains a membership structure under which 80% of members represent primary real estate disciplines, and 20% represent secondary disciplines (see membership application for break out of designations).

Do all CREW chapters have the same membership requirements?

Each chapter has its own set of membership criteria and is governed by its own set of Bylaws.

If the scope of my employment does not qualify me for membership, are there ways I can still be involved?

Non-members are welcome to attend "open" CREW events. Check out the Events section of the website and go to Registration to see what is available.
