WHAT?
Is this a brand new
company/agent?
√ Check on AREC website to make sure the new company/new agent has been approved and get the list of agents licensed with that firm (if new company). www.arec.arkansas.gov
√ Have the Broker fill out a New Member Application for the Firm and him/herself (all pages) if they have never been a REALTOR® before, or the new agent with page 1-2 completed. http://www.arkansasrealtors.com/about-the-ara/why-become-a-realtor®
√ If a new office….Is this a BRANCH office or a MAIN office?? Branch offices must have their own NRDS #.
Have you ever been a REALTOR® anywhere before?
√ Check on NRDS for the Broker/Agent and any agents to see if they have been a REALTOR® before. If they have been, DON’T create a new member, just change the old information in NRDS.
√ Get a New Member Application for each NON-REALTOR Agent licensed with the Firm. http://www.arkansasrealtors.com/about-the-ara/why-become-a-realtor®
General rule…Use whatever AREC says about the office/agent verbatim

Q: Who can purchase Form Simplicity?
A: Access is sold to an office and is to be purchased by the broker of that office. Form Simplicity is only available to members/offices that have an active status membership with an Arkansas local board or ARA directly.
Q: Does my Form Simplicity automatically renew for the next year or will I be sent a bill?
A: Form Simplicity access ends on the final day of the calendar year. You are not automatically renewed or billed. If you would like to continue use of the software and have access to the new forms that will be released for the upcoming year then a new purchase agreement and payment must be submitted. Sales for the upcoming year usually begin a month or two before the end of the current year so that orders can be placed and service is not interrupted.
Q: My office or I have purchased Form Simplicity for the current year, how do I get a login/password to use it?
A: Go to https://ara.formsimplicity.com. Click the Forgot/Register Password? link above the Login button.Enter your First and Last Name. Select Arkansas as the state if it is not already selected and hit the search button. If your name appears on the list after the search select it to continue. Then, enter your email address and a registration link will be sent to that email account in order to set up your password.
The email address entered must match what your local board currently has on file for you.
These steps can also be followed if a user needs to change their password or cannot remember it in order to login.

Q: I recently changed offices and when I log in to Form Simplicity it still shows my old office logo/information, how
do I get that updated?
A: When changing offices or opening your own there are a few steps that need to be taken in order to update your information. Contacting the Arkansas Real Estate Commission would be your
first step for transferring your license or setting up your new office. Once all paperwork has been filed and processed with the
AREC, the next step would be to contact your local board to update your membership information. If you are a member of
any secondary boards, please contact them and make them aware of your changes as well. Once your local board
has updated your membership records, please allow up to 48 hours for the change to be reflected on your electronic forms.
Since Form Simplicity is sold to an office, your Form Simplicity access will not continue if moving to an office that has not purchased the electronic forms for the year.
Need Form Simplicity Training for your entire office or Board?Email your request to Ladonna Ignatiuk, ARA Risk Reduction & Membership Director :[email protected]. Please include in your request the date, time, location & number of attendees.
