NAR® Board of Directors have given associations new teeth for enforcing Code of Ethics violations.
Under changes to the NAR® Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual, local associations that choose to adopt the policy can publicize the names of members and the nature of their violations after a second violation of the Code of Ethics. They can also release a photograph of the member as part of that public disclosure.
Also, there are changes to how the listing broker or agent responds to an offer. View

for all of the details.
We have had a lot of calls coming in regarding "Coming Soon" listings and the rules and regulations that the state has for them. Please view THIS short video from the National Association of REALTORS to give you a better understanding of the rules.
- Must have a valid Listing Agreement and must have a waiver from the seller to keep the listing off the MLS.
The NJ REALTORS® new, statewide Standard Real Estate Sales Contract (Form 118) was released last October. Valuable feedback to the form was received and from that a few revisions have been made. These are not major revisions.
PLEASE NOTE: The new forms are now online through zipForm Plus.
The revisions include:
Just a reminder that BCCAR's Proposal to Purchase Form, which is copyrighted, has been discontinued and can no longer be used. Thank you.
The New Jersey Real Estate Commission just released their Bulletin on Lockbox Security and enforcing regulations of safety for the clients and agents.
The use of lock boxes on properties to be sold or leased is common practice to facilitate the sale or lease of a property and is regulated by the requirements of the MLS services available within the state. For general information on the placement of lock boxes on properties listed for sale or rental it is imperative to review the specific terms and conditions of each listing service.
Among the information above, they further state "Regardless of the reason - home inspections, room measurements, showing family members the home, etc., - no one should be allowed to enter the property without proper supervision and under no circumstance should unaccompanied access be granted without the seller's full knowledge and consent."

BCCAR CEO, Diane Streichert, has an important message for all REALTORS®.

What is my role as a Referral Agent and what guidelines will I need to follow?

Is New Jersey Continuing Education (CE) required as a Referral Agent?
No. But, if you believe that you will eventually be changing your status back to a Saleseperson or Broker Licensee, you WILL want to keep up with CE.
Can I keep my license in a Referral status indefinitely?
Yes. A referral licensee CAN remain in referral indefinitely. You would go through the renewal process every two years, but not be responsible for any CE.
NOTE: The less than 6 year mark that is indicated on the NJ REC Change License Type Form (below) is a term measure for the licensee's last chance to change their license status BEFORE they would have to take all of the required CE and the exam again.

Your National REALTOR® Database System ID, or NRDS, is a 9 digit number that is given by the National Association of REALTORS®, through the local Primary board, to each of its members. That number is needed to distinguish you from other agents and also helps in giving proper placement and discounts when used in for registration for classes, events and conventions.
That number will follow the member even if they relocate and join another association. Much like a social security number for REALTORS®.
If you need to locate your number you can find it on the back of the REALTOR® Magazine or by clicking here https://reg.realtor.org/roreg.nsf/retrieveID?OpenForm
