Message from the California Association of REALTORS®:

C.A.R. has released new and revised standard forms as part of its semi-annual update. While we understand change is difficult, we are also in an environment that continues to shift. As your partner, C.A.R. is fully committed to supporting you through these significant practice-related changes and will provide you with extensive training opportunities.

Our leadership and legal staff will conduct a series of townhalls and training sessions over the coming weeks beginning July 10, with additional training throughout August. Some of these sessions will be recorded and can be viewed on the page below for future reference.

Additionally, our online class on the new buyer representation form will be made available free of charge to members. The forms will be released in zipForm® and other forms platforms on July 24. In order to be in full compliance by August 17, when the mandates of the NAR settlement go into effect, it is imperative that C.A.R. members are ready to use the new forms and prepared to discuss the changes with their clients. 

Register and attend one of the townhalls below. You may attend more than one Townhall; however, each one will cover the same material.

Join C.A.R. President Melanie Barker and members of C.A.R.’s legal team to learn about these forms and how C.A.R. is helping its members be prepared to use the forms.
