A reception will follow on Friday, February 13 at 3:00pm at the Veterans Hall in Danville, where friends and loved ones are invited to gather, share memories, and celebrate Randy’s life.

FEATURED COURSE: Partition Law – How to Sell Property When Co-Owners Disagree – Feb 25

Join us Tue, Feb. 25 at 10:00am (Zoom) for a class on partition actions—a legal process that can force the sale of jointly owned property when co-owners can’t agree. Often overlooked (and not a lot split), partition law can help resolve disputes between siblings, former partners, business associates, and other co-owners—and is increasingly relevant as co-ownership rises, especially among unmarried buyers. Ideal for real estate sales professionals looking to handle tough leads and gain an edge.

Registration: Members register via the CCAR Calendar to receive the Zoom link. $30 for non-members.

Take Control of Your Listing Photos with the
“Mark Private” Feature

We encourage you to retain photos on your listings until they are marked Sold in the MLS. Photos are an important part of a listing’s history and serve several key purposes.

Did you know that CCAR MLS Participants and Subscribers have the ability to mark listing photos as “Private” – giving you more control over how your listing images are shared. When photos are marked as Private, they remain visible within the MLS but are not distributed to public-facing websites.

This feature is especially valuable for members who rely on listing photos for comparables, appraisal, and research purposes, allowing you to preserve MLS access while protecting seller privacy and marketing strategy.

How to Mark Photos as Private:

  1. Go to your listing under LISTINGS → Maintain Listing
  2. Click on Add/Edit Pictures
  3. Select the photos you want to mark as Private
  4. Click ‘Mark Private’ in the top menu bar
  5. Click Save and exit your listing

For questions or assistance, please contact CCAR Member Services at 925.295.1270.
