St. Cloud Area Association of REALTORS®

The St. Cloud Area Association of REALTORS® (SCAAR) is committed to serving the surrounding communities in which we work and live. Each year, REALTORS® in the area donate their time, talents and money to local charities.  SCAAR has established a fund to help enhance the quality of life for our members and our community. SCAAR also believes in helping our members in times of crisis.  We will continue to fund our humanitarian effort through dues and fundraisers, and ask our members to continue to give selflessly.
