PRDS has updated its Fire Hardening Defensible Space ("FHDS") form. The revised form is dated 6/2022. Unlike C.A.R., PRDS only had to make a few minor changes to better help Agents and their Clients understand the two complex state laws that necessitate use of a hybrid type of form that is both a Seller Disclosure and an Agreement between the Seller and Buyer.

Effective June 27, 2022, SAMCAR Supra eKEYS and BTLE lockboxes may access and work in a greatly expanded area. SAMCAR and associations in the KIM Users Group (Bay East, Bridge, Contra Costa County, Delta, Monterey County, San Benito County, San Francisco, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz County, Silicon Valley) have established automatic cooperative reciprocal key and lockbox access, at no additional fee or cost, with the forty associations that are members of CRMLS. For a complete list of all 40 CRMLS associations check out: https://go.crmls.org/associations/ (Metrolist and BAREIS are not part of this automatic reciprocal key access and agents seeking to access Metrolist or BAREIS lockboxes will still need to pay for cooperating key access with those MLSs).

C.A.R. was recently informed that a REALTOR in Moreno Valley was physically assaulted during an open house. Fortunately, the REALTOR was able to fend off the attacker when a family showed up to view the property. As a reminder, C.A.R. advises members to work in pairs during open houses and showings, whenever possible, and has created a safety video for tips on staying safe while showing homes, meeting clients and holding open houses.
