new member benefits Exciting New Member Benefit Programs T he Atlanta Bar Association is delighted to announce several new partnership relationships specifically for the benefit of its members. Each month we will highlight new member benefit partners and the exclusive benefits they are offering to Atlanta Bar members. Just in time for spring and summer vacation t r avel, t he Ba r ha s formed a relationship with A Third Home LLC. 3RD HOME is an exclusive reciprocal club for luxury holiday home owners. Their premise is simple - by being a member, second home owners now have access to a whole host of others around the world without paying rental rates for the pleasure. Enabling you to ‘get out what you put in’, members book and stay in properties they want by simply depositing a couple of available weeks in their own homes for other members to use. The club is currently almost 300 strong with places ranging in value from $500,000 to over $25 Million. About half are located in the U.S. and the rest are all over the world. Membership is selective, but the Bar and 3RD HOME have put together a relationship that not only pre-approves you into the club, but also waives the $495 initiation fee. Therefore, Atlanta Bar members can join the 3RD HOME community free of charge! As a club, 3RD HOME is still in its early stages, but will be adding a good number of new members over the coming months. Like a fine wine, your membership would become more valuable as it “ages.” If you have a luxury second home that has some empty weeks and you like to travel, why not turn those weeks into holidays
