Because of the RAF, REALTORS® across California benefited from these laws:

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 an acceleration of income tax payments in the form 3% withholding; 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.

The REALTOR® Action Fund (RAF) money is raised to advance the goals of our REALTOR® Political Action Committees (PAC's) at the local, state and federal levels of government. The RAF makes sure that good laws (the laws that make it better for REALTORS®) get passed. The RAF also works to make sure that the bad laws (the laws which inhibit your ability to do business) don't get passed.

You can become a member of the RAF with a $49.00 donation. That is less than ONE DOLLAR a week. One dollar a week to help keep the Mortgage Interest Deduction, to prevent Statewide Point of Sale Mandates and to help you remain an Independent Contractor.

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!
