Community and Member Benefits
PWR serves as a central hub for real estate professionals in Orange County, offering a sense of community and professional belonging. Members value the association's role in providing a "letter of good standing" and facilitating networking opportunities. While the administrative requirement for this letter has been a point of contention for some, many long-term members express deep satisfaction with the overall value, citing the organization's reliability, extensive benefits, and the high quality of its team. For many, PWR is not just a service provider but a trusted partner in their real estate career.
PWR: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to see Sam. He is very helpful. He made me confident using supra lockbox. I used to be very intimidated using it but he was very patient going with me over and over abt using it. Thanks so much Sam!
Fantastic experience: Great selection of inventory. Friendly, helpful staff and great pricing.
Negative experience: Terrible processing times for new members and snappy “customer service” if it wasn’t broker required I’d RUN from this association!!! No real support for real estate professionals here!!!!
We sincerely apologize for your experience. While January is a particularly busy time for our Membership Department, this should never result in the level of service you described. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously. I will be forwarding your comments to our Membership Manager so this matter can be addressed appropriately. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate the opportunity to improve.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Sam and I really appreciated how patient he was in listening to all of my questions and concerns. He took the time to hear me out— even let me gush about how great my brokerage and team are haha! It was refreshing to speak with someone so professional, approachable, and attentive. Definitely made a positive impression! Thank you Sam, I’m going to listen to some Led Zeppelin right now!
Fantastic experience: Stopped by Friday to turn in my membership paperwork They were a little busy but quickly got to me and were very courteous and helpful. I look forward to working with the great people at the PWR board for years to come.
Fantastic experience: Good place to consider taking your RE knowledge to another level
Fantastic experience: Great help from the staff. Quick in answering questions.
Negative experience: Letter of good standing??? I feel very offensive when I was asked for this. I came from OCAR association. And because I’m switching broker, that’s why I have to go to Pacific West Association to sign up. The guy asked me a letter of good standing he said that just wanna make sure that I make my payment on time. Hello, I have been doing Realtor for at least almost 10 years. If I don’t pay, how can I closed transactions? Management should remove this letter of good standing requirement , because it’s taking an extra step to do , realtors feel very offensive . Why do you want to make us do more work? Or if we’re leaving the service because we are not happy with them why on earth you want us to ask for LOGS??? And we Realtor we make payment on time, hypothetically if we don’t make payment you just revoke our memberships. Why are you making us do extra step and it said letter of good standing i felt insulted . i paid in full upfront every time.. this LOGS step need to be removed. And for this reason, I will not join PWR. And I am sorry broker I would not join you as well because of this Ridiculous hideous requirement. I will stick with my current broker, thank you.
Fantastic experience: Good instructor

Fantastic experience: This is the MLS service for Orange County. I don't like MLS services....but they are nice but are also feeling the affects of the market crash. Staff wise.
Thank you for your review, Guy! One point of clarification: we are a REALTOR Association, not the MLS. We partner closely with CRMLS, but we are two separate entities. We’re always more than happy to help with anything regarding your membership benefits or questions about CRMLS.

Fantastic experience: We have been members of PWR for many years and we could not be more pleased. Always attentive and provide lots of classes and services.
Negative experience: I’ve been a member of this association for about 2 years and I can say that their customer service team needs better practices. I’ve had to call multiple times to confirm receipt of emails and receive confirmation of my requests over the phone and instead of getting resolve I get the run around. I expect better communication and support from an organization that I pay a decent amount of coins to be a part of yearly. Do better.
Hello DeUnique, my name is Brenton Hudak and I am the Industry Relations Manager. I’m sorry to hear you have had issues resolving your requests. Please send an email to [email protected] at your earliest convenience and I’d be more than happy to help you.

Fantastic experience: Was treated extremely well by PWR while giving our Presentation on Drone Photography and Legalities for One Zero Digital Media!
Fantastic experience: This is the Board of Realtors that I belong to. Great bunch of folks to work with.
Negative experience: Many agents think your board of Realtors have governmental powers, they do not. They are usually a Corporation or LLC and operate like any for profit business with the emphasis on profit. Many of the boards suppliment their reserves and financial statements with large fines imposed on agents. The board relies on select members to decide on fines. We are not clear if these select members are volunteers or paid for services. Many boards operate with the attitude that they can impose any fine or punishment on agents, regardless of any defense presented.
Fantastic experience: Friendly people to help and excellent classes for education.
Negative experience: Incompetent. Also, phone service is bad. On the phone forever, once held for 20 minutes then got disconnected, called a few more times waiting for awhile before I had to get off the phone because they didn't pick up for awhile.
Fantastic experience: Do not go here very often. Nice drive from the Perris area

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased, and surprisingly so, to be the FIRST person to leave a review for the PWAOR. After all of the years of their existence, it seems that there should be more than one. However, and be that as it may, I am delighted to report that their agent support desk is well and thriving. I spoke this afternoon with George who professionally and enthusiastically helped in bring a matter to a positive solution and conclusion. Kudos to you George and kudos to the PWAOR for have the foresight of hiring such an able-bodied associate.
