Our Association
The Cascades East Association of REALTORS®, formally known as the Central Oregon Association of REALTORS®, is the voice for real estate for over 2200 REALTORS® in nine Oregon counties—Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Jefferson, Harney, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler counties (excluding the portion that lies within the boundaries of the Warm Springs Reservation). We serve as the leading advocate for the real estate industry and private property owners in these areas.
We provide essential programs and services for REALTORS®, including government affairs, continuing education, market data, and maintain ethical standards for our members. We also offer an array of resources to consumers, including information on the advantages of using a REALTOR®, information on the various communities in Central and Eastern Oregon, a Find a REALTOR® search, and a property search.
The Cascades East Association of REALTORS® is the local arm of a much larger organization. When you join us, you are also joining Oregon REALTORS®, the state association representing more than 17,000 REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), which represents more than 1 million REALTORS®. NAR is the largest trade association and one of the most powerful groups in the United States.
REALTORS®, who are all licensed real estate agents or licensed appraisers, represent some of the most knowledgeable, successful, and trustworthy professionals in their industry. REALTORS® subscribe to a strictly enforced Code of Ethics that promotes the fair, ethical, and honest treatment of all parties in a real estate transaction. Agents who are not REALTORS® are not bound to these same ethical practices and principles outlined in the REATLOR® Code of Ethics.
Our Multiple Listing Service
In addition to the wide variety of member services we provide through our association, we also offer multiple listing services (MLS) to those who join the Cascades East Multiple Listing Service. Our association is part owner of the Oregon Datashare LLC. (ODS), which is a regionally-owned MLS technology provider. Any member who joins our multiple listing service locally gains access to the products and services provided through ODS and the real estate market and listing data of our data share partners—the Southern Oregon MLS and the Klamath County Association of REALTORS®.
