The REALTOR® Achievement Club certifications will be available February 21. Please review your inventory on the MLS and make sure all your sales/listing status are up to date. View this quick video about how to run your inventory in Paragon or call Tech Support at 925.730.7100 for assistance.

The Achievement Club is a member awards program designed to recognize all Bay East REALTORS® who have used the MLS and closed more than $3.5 million in residential and/or commercial sales/listings or 10 sales/lease transactions sides for the year.

Bay East has generated “dollar/volume reports” to identify all REALTOR® members who qualify for an award by meeting the criteria below.

We have been advised there are currently fraudulent sellers engaged in transactions, so please be extra careful this holiday season. Here are some tips to help protect your buyers and you.

Require an in-person meeting. Fraudulent sellers avoid in-person meetings by claiming that they are traveling out of state or out of the country. They may have false passports and driver’s licenses that appear to be legitimate. It’s recommended to get a photo of the seller(s) and verify them through other, multiple sources (i.e. the internet).

Things to watch for:

  • The “seller” contacts seller’s agent – unsolicited
  • The “seller” states that they are traveling out of state or out of the country 
  • The “seller” only communicates by email or phone
  • Typically, the “seller” wants to sell a land lot

Please use extreme caution when working with new clients, especially sellers of vacant land who will only do business over the phone or email.

Licensees with a renewal date of January 1, 2023 or later are required to take a new Implicit Bias course and an Interactive Fair Housing course as part of their 45 hours of CE. These two new classes are now included in the 45 Free CE member benefit packages available on www.car.org.

1. Licensees with a renewal date of January 1, 2023 or later must submit CE coursework that includes the two new classes.

2. Licensees with a renewal date prior to January 1, 2023 may submit coursework that includes the new two new classes or they may submit previous coursework before to January 1, 2023.

3. Licensees with a renewal date prior to January 1, 2023 that renew their license after January 1, 2023 (late renewals) will be required to complete the two new classes.

Inventory, units sold and pricing information for all East Bay real estate markets are available online by clicking: 

https://bayeast.org/community-info/community-info/ and clicking on the city of interest. 

Plan to join us for Bay East’s biggest annual networking event. On Saturday, January 14, 2023, Steve Medeiros and the 2023 Bay East Board of Directors will be installed at Casa Real in Pleasanton. View sponsorship packages here. Admission available soon!
