Everyone’s talking about that lawsuit hitting NAR lately. Right now, we’re all in the dark about what to expect down the line, but the word on the street (and from some pretty savvy folks) is that it’s time to brush up on buyer representation.

The California Association of REALTORS® just sent an email nudging agents to get up to speed with buyer rep forms.

And here’s a cool twist – they’re offering the course for free to all C.A.R. members.

Neil Kalen, one of the sharp legal minds at C.A.R., is teaching the course. He will walk you through all those forms and what you need to complete them correctly.

What’s missing is the nitty-gritty on how to break it to your buyers that they might be footing the bill for your commission from now on. 

Neil’s a whiz with legal details, but selling? That’s not his arena. 

Still, I’d say grab this course, dive in, and then sit down with your broker to figure out your game plan and how you will pitch this to your buyers.

Here are the details:
