How many ARMLS members threw in the towel?

On June 1st, Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) sent out annual bills to over 36,000 members.  They gave all the recipients until July 8th to get their payment in before shutting them off.  Even with over a month to pay, last Tuesday evening ARMLS created minor heart attacks across the entire Valley of the Sun. 

Forethoughtfully, Bob Bemis bumped up his call center staff on the following days expecting a barrage of phone calls from agents wondering what had happened.  They were right, on the 9th and 10th ARMLS reinstated 1,358 members and expect to reinstate another 1,300 before the wave passes. 

All in all - they are anticipating a 15% reduction of membership to about 31,000 active members.
