Building Confidence as a New Agent
By: Khalid N. Byron
Real Estate Sales can be one of the most challenging yet most rewarding careers out there. Passing the state exam is hard enough but once you’re in the career it’s like, “WELL NOW WHAT?!” Granted you can choose a brokerage and hope you get a strong head start, but mostly, we’re independent contractors and in charge of our own careers. Our successes and failures are largely in our hands.
The beginning years, I must say, are the hardest. No one in the industry knows who you are. Those around you don’t know what you do. You might be afraid to…
The RAF supports political activities at the local, state, and national levels. It gives REALTORS® the financial resources needed to advocate for policies which protect property rights and REALTORS® ability to effectively conduct their business.

C.A.R. Housing Matters Podcast
The Housing Matters Podcast is your go-to source for market analysis, economic trends, and housing news from C.A.R. Subscribe on iTunes or Spotify to hear expert insights on the week’s top real estate stories – and what they mean for you.
This week’s episode: Slow Start for the Season as Price Hits New High discusses how California home sales have declined for the second time in four months year-over-year, as high interest rates and economic uncertainty weigh on the market. Condo sales, once a foothold for first-time buyers, have also slowed due to worsening affordability. While the tariff situation has eased slightly, the recent U.S. credit downgrade has pushed rates higher, potentially stalling the market further in the months ahead.
Title Fraud on the Rise: What You Need to Know
A new survey from the National Association of REALTORS® reveals growing concern over title fraud and deed theft, especially in urban and suburban markets.

Efforts to combat fraud are active in 76% of areas, with strong support (83%) for electronic alerts to notify property owners of title changes.
Stay vigilant—learn how prevention efforts are evolving across the country…
