A Message From The President

2021 President Greg Souza discusses upcoming events including our 100 Year Anniversary Centennial Celebration (Please Note: There will be NO dancing at the event due to Pleasant Hill Covid Restrictions), the hugely popular CCAR Chili Cook-ON competition! Greg also talks about the District 5 (West County) Broker Town Hall, the Richmond Building survey, upcoming education possibilities, and more!

Richmond Bridge,

CCAR’s Richmond Building – Your Opinion Matters

CCAR’s Richmond office is in an area that is experiencing ongoing safety concerns. The Board of Directors is considering the potential sale of the current Richmond site in order to purchase another property in a better location within District 5.

This move will allow us to protect our assets and better serve District 5 members (District 5 includes the cities of Crockett, El Cerrito, El Sobrante, Hercules, Kensington, Richmond Annex, Richmond, Point Richmond, Pinole, Rodeo and San Pablo).

The Devastating CA Wildfires and How to Help

The Dixie Fire in Plumas County has exploded into the largest single wildfire in California history – consuming more than 500,000 acres in a wildfire season that’s on track to shatter last year’s records. As a result, several REALTOR® members have tragically lost their home and/or business.

If you and/or your members would like to help, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund, which provides grants of up to $5,000 to help members of…

Code of Ethics Violators

Member publication is triggered only if the discipline imposed is a reprimand, fine, suspension or expulsion – anything other than a letter of warning or stand-alone education. The information will be published on the members-only section of car.org.
