A personal assistant to a Realtor® is an unlicensed individual whom a Realtor® could hire to perform any activities undertaken in the regular course of business for which a license is not required. Personal Assistants can apply to register with NVAR and Sentrilock by filling out the attached form. A Personal Assistant SentriKey account would grant them access to their managing Realtor®’s lockboxes or the lockboxes of that Realtor® member's team.

You can read the Bright MLS Subscription Agreement and/or the MRIS Rules & Regulations manual (Article III-Sec1.6.1) for clarification purposes on brightMLS.com.

In the Key Defined terms, Non-licensed Personnel means administrative and clerical staff, personal assistants, and individuals providing administrative support to Subscribers.
