The Benefits of a Texas Chapter Membership

The Realtors Land Institute (RLI) is the largest and oldest professional organization of land specialists in the nation. It exists for 3 reasons; networking, education and certification resulting in professional competence and integrity.

Networking. The Texas Chapter is the largest in the Realtors Land Institute. Its members are some of the elite in the state of Texas. As a member, you will have the opportunity to meet these folks in person at social events, business meetings, conferences and educational courses. This is how business gets done, land professional to land professional. 

Education. We offer excellence in land specific education taught by the best practitioners in the business. Check the Education page on this site for upcoming local and national offerings.

Certification. The RLI certification program involves the awarding of the Accredited Land Consultant (ALC) designation based upon a rigorous program of experience,  successful completion of numerous educational courses and passage of a comprehensive examination.

Integrity. All RLI members are required to adhere to codes of ethics required by state licensing and the National Association of Realtors. Additionally, all ALC members are bound by an additional rigorous set of ethics.

Members of the RLI, and particularly, those holding the ALC designation represent the the top echelon of land professionals in Texas.
