REAL Professionals Network, LLC ("RPN") connects senior-level commercial real estate professionals through Mastermind meetings to discuss market conditions and deal flow, exchange ideas that create new business opportunities, and build relationships through clear, accountable, and measurable follow-up.
Founding Member Dues. Upon submitting this Agreement, the Member agrees to pay a one-time refundable deposit of $300.00. This deposit will be applied toward the Member's initial Chapter Membership dues and benefits, which may include one or more months of membership, participation in Mastermind meetings, and other benefits available through the REAL Professionals Network Membership Program. The Founding Membership deposit will only be refunded if a first chapter meeting does not occur within a reasonable amount of time.
The Member authorizes RPN to charge the designated credit card for this one-time payment.
Transition to Membership. Upon scheduling of the chapter's second monthly Mastermind meeting, the Founding Member agrees to complete and execute RPN's then-current Membership Agreement through the RPN website for the membership category selected by the Member.
The Founding Member further agrees to authorize recurring dues payments based on the selected membership type and the applicable dues schedule. Membership dues will commence as provided in the applicable Membership Agreement and continue in accordance with its terms.
