Case Study: Northeast Association of REALTORS® achieves $20,000+ in credit card fee savings with GrowthZone

Northeast Association of REALTORS - Customer Case Study

The Northeast Association of REALTORS® (Westford, MA), led by CEO Maria Brogan, serves about 2,000 members and focuses on connecting them to timely information. The association struggled with platforms that weren’t real-estate-specific: their custom membership module was often down or time-consuming to use, and high credit card fees were significantly cutting into revenue.

After switching to GrowthZone—recommended by peer organizations—the association gained NRDS and e‑commerce integrations that solved those pain points. GrowthZone reduced credit-card costs (saving over $20,000 in year one) by shifting fees to only the association’s portion of dues, simplified online payments and registrations, freed staff time, and made website and event management easier, letting the team focus on expanding member services.
