By posting it on your social media platforms on the same day, we can amplify our message and reach more Californians. Let’s come together to protect homeownership and stand up for our communities. Join us in spreading the word—every post counts! Be sure to include the hashtags #NoOn33 #VoteNoOnProp33 #ProtectHomeownership
2025 New Laws (PArt 1)
It’s that time of year again – the Governor has recently signed many new laws impacting real estate. This month’s C.A.R. Quick Guide summarizes new laws relating to buyer representation agreements, the foreclosure process, and general contractors.

Due to wildfire risks in California and an increase in construction costs, insurance companies are forgoing the issuance of new policies, increasing premiums, and making finding and maintaining coverage in many areas of the state more difficult than ever. C.A.R. has done the research so you can easily keep your clients informed on how to protect their homes, keep their insurance coverage and find new coverage when necessary. Access their shareable consumer one sheets and legal quick guides on smartzonecar.org.

The NAR settlement terms that have disrupted the residential real estate sales market have a ripple effect on other real property transactions which involve real estate licensees. One of those affected areas are leases and rentals of residential properties. This month’s C.A.R.

Need Help with Business Practice Changes?
New Member Fact Sheets Just Released
NAR has developed two new resources to help you better navigate the new business practice changes. These resources help to define the responsibilities and limitations for real estate agents by outlining the “dos” and “don’ts” of supporting homebuyers and home sellers during the transaction process.
Remember that the practice changes are intended to promote choice, empower consumers, and foster healthy competition, and they should be implemented with these goals in mind. As always, the REALTOR® Code of Ethics remains the foundation for the services you provide.
