We are productive people with reliable expertise helping others reach their next level of success. With 14,000 members, WCR is the seventeenth largest women's organization in the U.S. Based on commission income, WCR members are more than twice as productive as the average REALTOR@ and are better established in the business. That, in turn, means they are better connected to the communities they serve. WCR is an affiliate of the National Association of REAL TORS® and is headquartered in Chicago, IL. WHAT WE DO: At WCR we are never standing still. That's why in 2003 we launched an entirely new REAL TOR® designation, the Performance Management Network. It’s professional training, and a thriving referral network, so powerful it will keep the competition up at night. Our new courses dig deep into the hot topics that are shaping our business, like effective negotiating, conflict and change management and networking to generate referrals. HOW WE DO IT: WCR has an established network of 260 local chapters, with volunteer managers trained to position their groups as a business resource center in their REAL TOR communities. With regular networking and educational programming designed to keep our members at the top of their game, it's a small wonder that WCR members collectively generate over $100 million in commissions annually. We learn more, earn more, grow more. AT A GLANCE: - Average WCR Member's Income from Real Estate: $99,000
