AVP (Affiliated VOW Partner) — rights are *derivative* of the member's and scoped to operating that member's VOW (PropTx Rules Art. 8; NAR VOW; CVR MLS)
Created 2026-06-21
Summary
Claim. An AVP (Affiliated VOW Partner) is a vendor operating a VOW on behalf of a member. Its access is derivative of the member's rights and limited to operating that VOW.
Source. PropTx Rules Art. 8; NAR VOW policy; CVR MLS, accessed 2026-06-21.
Confidence. Verified.
Caveats. "Derivative" is doing real work — an AVP cannot do anything the member cannot do, and is contractually scoped to that VOW's operation.
Implication / use. A would-be vendor on this seam (operating-a-VOW-for-a-member) is constrained by the member's own AUA. No "we're the vendor so the AUA doesn't bind us" argument.
