MLS Rule Change 11.13 Enables Portability of Listing Data

CCAR’s MLS Rules & Regulations have been revised to adopt NAR’s new mandatory Participant Data Access Policy, requiring the MLS to provide MLS Participants access and entitlement to a data feed containing their own listing information. Such a policy enables portability of listing data for brokers.

The NAR-mandated revision adds a new Section 11.13 which is described as follows:

11.13 Participant Access and Entitlement to Their Own Listing Information; Data Portability has been added to incorporate new mandated policy requiring the MLS to provide requesting MLS Participants with access and entitlement to a RESO-compliant data feed containing their own listing information.

Give to Bay Area Rescue Mission

For over 25 years, your generous Christmas contributions have made a meaningful impact on local families through the Christmas CanTree Event and the Bay Area Rescue Mission. Regrettably, despite our best efforts, the Christmas CanTree had to be canceled this year due to ticket sales not meeting the anticipated levels necessary to host the event successfully.

Instead, we invite you to make a donation directly to the Bay Area Rescue Mission to support their tireless work to provide shelter, food, and support to individuals facing homelessness and hunger in our community. Please don’t forget to include the Bay Area Rescue Mission on your Christmas gift list.

New Member Enrollment Enhancements

CCAR is excited to announce the launch of an online application system allowing licensed real estate agents to apply to join CCAR online.

This new process accesses both the California DRE (Department of Real Estate) and NRDS (National Real Estate Database System) to validate license type, status, broker affiliation, and whether a licensed agent has been assigned an NRDS#. That data is auto-magically imported into a dashboard to be reviewed by CCAR staff for follow up and processing.

Brokers: Have new agents in your office? Send them here to join https://join.ccartoday.com! Also, please be on the lookout for emails from CCAR if you have new agents joining. These emails are notification requests for you to provide CCAR with verification of the joining agent and to sign as their Broker. If you have an office manager who signs on your behalf please inform us of their name and email address by contacting us at [email protected]. If you have printed versions of the CCAR Application in your office please recycle them.

If you have any questions please contact CCAR Member Services at [email protected] or 925.295.1270.
