San Antonio Board of Realtors, Four Rivers announce merger to expand Texas footprint

• The San Antonio Board of Realtors and Four Rivers Association of Realtors plan to merge
• Combined group would represent 14,500+ members across South Texas
• Deal pending member vote and National Association of Realtors approval

What the merger includes

The San Antonio Board of Realtors and Four Rivers Association of Realtors have announced plans to merge, creating a larger regional organization across South Texas. SABOR currently represents more than 13,000 members across 13 counties, while Four Rivers adds over 1,500 members across five counties. The combined entity would significantly expand regional coverage and influence.

What this means for operations

The merger is still in progress, with members of both organizations expected to vote once key details are finalized. Areas under review include governance structure, financial integration, and operational planning. Final approval will also be required from the National Association of Realtors.

What this means for brokers and agents

For agents, the merger could simplify access to services, data, and resources across a broader geographic area. A unified association can streamline operations and provide stronger support systems for members working across multiple counties. This also improves collaboration and consistency across the region.

What this means for the industry

This deal reflects a growing trend of consolidation among Realtor associations. Larger organizations are better positioned to provide technology, data access, and advocacy at scale. For investors and landlords, stronger regional associations can improve market transparency and efficiency. Texas continues to see consolidation as real estate organizations scale to match growth across key markets.
