Imagine for a moment, that California Association of REALTORS® did not have
a Government Affairs Team and REALTOR® Action Fund… The threats listed
below could have affected the way you do business!
The California Association of REALTORS®:
PRESERVED: Property Profiles: Title insurance companies stopped
providing property profiles in a reaction to a letter issued by the
Department of Insurance;
DEFEATED: 3% Independent Contractor Withholding: 3 times in
2009! Politicians proposed a 3% independent contractor withholding
requirement that would have forced you to make no-interest loans to the
state; and
DEFEATED: Point of Sale Bills: Multiple bills were introduced
which if passed would have resulted in, as much as, $20,000 of costs per
home to close escrow.
Given California’s ongoing state budget shortfall, 2010 will be another
contentious year. Your support is needed now more than ever. To
preserve C.A.R.’s ability to fight for you! Again, dues billing cycle is
underway; please invest in the REALTOR® Action Fund!
