On June 25, C.A.R. released 48 new and revised forms as part of its semi-annual update to its standard forms. C.A.R. then informed all members then that they would be postponing the release date of other forms to ensure that they met our high standards for use by members and consumers in light of the practice changes associated with the NAR settlement. Given the significant practice-related changes facing members at this time, C.A.R. will be providing numerous training opportunities to members on the use of these forms. Our leadership and legal staff will be hosting townhall meetings beginning July 10, with additional training through August as part of an aggressive training schedule. Many of these sessions will be recorded, as well. Additionally, our online class on the new buyer representation form will be made available free of charge to members. The forms were released in zipForm and other forms platforms on July 24. In order to be in full compliance by August 17, when the mandates of the NAR settlement go into effect, it is imperative that C.A.R. members are ready to use the new forms and prepared to discuss the changes with their clients.
Thank you for your involvement and interest in the development of C.A.R. Standard Forms.
