Legislative Working Group – Transfer Fees
Yup, this discussion is resurfacing and I really need your help. I am putting together a working group to discuss the extensive process that goes into the fees associated with the disclosure and transfer of real property inside of an HOA.
While there is no legislative initiative at this time, the discussion has been raised by one of the Realtor Associations under C.A.R. In an effort to avoid lobbying for legislative initiatives, I have agreed to review and help educate realtors on this matter in 2020.
In order to do that accurately, I want to be proactive and prepared. I’m seeking executive-level leaders that can offer some valuable time on a few conference calls and provide some general information on your processes. Please email me at
tfreeley@cacm.org
to let me know you can assist CACM. Your help and time is always greatly appreciated.
Update on SB 323 (Wieckowski)
It's still a nightmare bill. Through meetings with the Governor’s office, we have been successful in getting a couple of positive changes to the bill. Click

for a draft of the latest version. Thank you in advance for your voice. I’m confident that our #CACMStrong efforts had an impact.
Vision Award
Have you nominated someone, or yourself, for a
Vision Award
yet? Um, why not? Glitz. Glamour. Nominee VIP Area. Black tie/ball gown optional. Dancing. Maybe a little champagne to help celebrate the award winners. So, the simple question is this: why aren’t you involved?
Lastly, how can your team at CACM help you? After all, that is why we’re here. Have an idea that would change the industry? Maybe a suggestion for a local event? How about a legislative initiative we should focus on. Let us know. CACM is here for you. We are #CACMStrong when we communicate.

Standardized pricing: New three-tiered approach
CACM will be incorporating a new way of providing service to members through standardized pricing.
Moving forward, early pricing will be posted offering those members who want to take advantage of discounted rates prior to four weeks before the event. At the four week mark, CACM will offer regular pricing for the event. The walk-in rate will be available the day of the event.
We hope this streamlines for all and makes budgeting a bit easier.
Enjoy!
