Dear Friend and Fellow-Member,
I’m reaching out to wish you well and share the most recent updates from CCAR and our partners at C.A.R. and NAR. For those of you who continue to have questions about the NAR lawsuit, that information changes rapidly and can be accessed 24-7 at: https://www.nar.realtor/the-facts. I also encourage you to watch the latest online interview with NAR President Kevin Sears and participate in the upcoming Zoom event with NAR Senior Legal Counsel Charlie Lee on the 24th of this month (registration link below). There’s a lot of information to process and MLS rules changes coming this summer so we want to make sure you stay informed.
There are also a variety of great educational opportunities on the calendar this month including a FREE ABR – Accredited Buyer Representative Designation course and a live Tony Robbins workshop.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions, or want to chat (contact information listed above).
