Title Fraud is Rising in CA – What to Know

Title fraud, or deed theft, is a growing concern in California, particularly in high-value urban and suburban markets. Scammers often target vacant land, rental properties, and homes with significant equity, using forged documents to transfer ownership, sell the property, or take out loans before homeowners realize what happened. In 2025, 62% of real estate professionals reported encountering title fraud. California’s high-equity housing market makes it especially vulnerable, but homeowners can reduce risk by monitoring County Recorder records or signing up for local deed alert services.

Upcoming MLS Change:
CDOM Relocation to History Tab

Effective July 6, 2026, the Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM) count will move from MLS reports to the History tab.
This change is intended to keep the listing’s current Days on Market (DOM) count prominently displayed within the MLS report, while encouraging subscribers to reference the History tab for additional listing context.
The History tab provides a more complete view of the property and listing lifecycle, including prior listing activity that may affect the CDOM count. Moving CDOM to the History tab allows subscribers to view the supporting details and better understand why the CDOM and DOM counts may differ.
The History tab can be found below the listing photos on the MLS report, represented as an ‘H’ icon.

Top Tools to power Up Your Business

Whether you’re winning new clients, managing transactions, or building your brand, CCAR benefits are designed to save you time, reduce risk, and strengthen your business. Watch the video above to learn about three top benefits, presented by Joey Masters, CCAR MLS Director.

NAR: Guidelines for 1-to-1 Broker Communication

NAR has released new guidance on one-to-one broker communications and the Clear Cooperation Policy. This resource is intended to provide clarity and additional information about the distinction between permissible one-to-one broker communications and activities that may trigger Clear Cooperation Policy requirements. In general, one-to-one communication between a listing broker or agent and another broker or agent outside the listing brokerage may be permitted when it is authorized by the seller and supports the seller’s informed consent and best interests.
The guidance also explains that while one-to-one conversations may not trigger Clear Cooperation Policy requirements on their own, certain activities can go beyond communication. Examples include sharing an office exclusive listing with multiple brokerages, arranging showings or tours, engaging in negotiations, accepting offers, or having the recipient share the information with others. These types of activities may require the listing to be filed with the MLS within one business day.
Members are encouraged to review the full document to better understand what is allowed, what may trigger MLS filing requirements, and how to ensure communications remain consistent with the seller’s privacy, security, and best interests.

CA Law – Sexual Harassment Training Required Every 2 Years

Reminder: State law requires Designated Brokers to complete supervisory sexual harassment training and provide employees with access to training.

Additionally, salespeople, brokers, broker associates, and independent contractors are now personally liable for sexual harassment in professional relationships with clients—even if the relationship has ended.

Risk Management Tip:
The responsible broker and anyone supervising agents or employees—including those who hire, fire, reward, or discipline—should also complete supervisory training.
