Beginning June 3, 2024, when submitting a new listing on Paragon MLS, you’ll notice a helpful reminder prompt. This prompt will appear at the top of the screen, asking you to review and confirm the Expiration Date before finalizing your submissions. Once you have reviewed it, click the Accept button then Save to submit. This additional step aims to prevent any inadvertent listing expirations.

Did you know that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has a page on their website with resources for seniors with housing needs?
N.A.R. offers The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) Designation Course which helps real estate professionals develop the business-building skills needed to specialize in the 50+ real estate market. This includes understanding how life stages impact real estate choices, fostering empathy with clients and customers, and connecting to a network of resources.
On-demand Buyer Representation Agreement Training: C.A.R. is providing training about using the Buyer Representation and Broker Compensation Agreement to REALTOR® members at no charge by using the promo code “Free25” when registering for the class.
Learn about the buyer representation forms released by C.A.R. and find out how you can incorporate them into your business, overcome objections that you may encounter, and strengthen your relationship with buyers.
Real estate agents don’t just represent sellers, they represent buyers, as well. In California, however, while almost every agent will refuse to work for a seller without a written listing agreement, very few agents insist on a written representation agreement with a buyer. Get ahead of the curve and learn how this form will benefit you and secure your buyers from other competing agents.
The course is FREE through October 2024, but you will have ONE (1) year from the date of purchase to complete the course.
