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.

In April the MLSListings Board of Directors voted to amend the MLS rules section for the type of lockboxes allowable in the MLS service area: Effective immediately, the Supra BT LE is the required type, if any lockbox is used to provide showing access for agents. Read more about this MLSListings rule change, enforcement and how to obtain Supra BT LE lockboxes as well as how to properly discard of Supra iBox BT, which are now considered electronic waste (e-waste).

PRDS has created a Comparison Chart of the December 2021 California Association of REALTORS (C.A.R.) Real Estate Purchase Agreement (RPA) and the December 2021 PRDS Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) for use by SILVAR members. This Comparison Chart is for general reference purposes only; it is designed to identify where comparable concepts or provisions in the C.A.R. RPA are located in the PRDS REPC.

The Chart includes a general description of the differences, but it is not intended to be a complete list of all possible differences that may arise between the C.A.R. and PRDS contracts as a result of legal interpretations of the diverse terminology used in these forms. This Comparison Chart is also not intended to constitute legal advice, nor can it take the place of advice from a qualified California real estate attorney with respect to any specific issue or transaction. This Comparison Chart should not be used in the event that either of the forms is modified after December of 2021.
