On June 25, C.A.R. released 48 new and revised forms as part of its semi-annual update to its standard forms. We informed you then that C.A.R. 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.
On July 10, the remaining forms will be posted on www.car.org. Beginning with the release of these forms and 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 will be 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.
While we understand change is difficult, we are also in an environment that continues to shift. As your partner, C.A.R. is fully committed to adapting however necessary and communicating with you, our members, as often as needed.
We have taken great care to create new and revised forms that are easy to understand. Standard forms are evolving documents, and we believe that these revisions not only meet the needs of the current moment but also equip our members with the best possible tools to ensure their ongoing success.
