Thrilled to share that we have renewed DRE's 1973 agreement with the University of California for the Real Estate Education Endowment Fund. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of this accord has been a top priority

@ocregister, @DougMcCauleyCA breaks down why #AB1796 fails the 1 test that justifies occupational licensing: consumer protection. 8 complaints in 10 years, high fees, & a market handed to a small corporate cadre. That's not public protection, it's a guild. https://t.co/xs9ogD07Oe

@CAArchitectsBd Sylvia's strong voice and compelling vision will serve @NCARB well. Congrats Sylvia!

Love seeing the Terner Center get into the "nuts and bolts" of housing impediments - building code interpretations. Enjoyed the interview, Ben.

[Terner Center @TernerHousing]

In California, building codes are administered by local building officials across hundreds of jurisdictions, introducing inconsistency and unpredictability. A new analysis offers insights on how the system works and opportunities for reform. https://t.co/eNPZZ0yGiT

@NCARB by 116,000?

The Residential Mitigation Program is an outstanding example of prudent investing in prevention. The costs of disaster recovery are exponentially more than smart choices to foster resilience, so if not this, what's the plan?

@TheARPL Definitely agree that bigger government isn't better government, but hopefully this fosters a healthy discussion on the value of public members. The NV engineers board, for example, has 8 licensee members and only 1 public.

@DanCALmatters @uofsandiego Schoo of Law has done some great work on State Bar reform over the years.

@CaliforniaDFPI Well deserved!

[Doug McCauley @DougMcCauleyCA]

This is a BIG deal that didn't get much coverage.

@sacstate is joining a select group of public institutions -- UCLA, Cal, and Cal Poly (SLO and Pomona) -- with architectural programs.

Thrilled to see so much progress at the Capital Campus!

The housing shout-out was powerful and a strong call to action. We need tools like the Existing Buildings Code to unlock the impediments to housing.

@SacAppraiser Definitely lots of questions. Already hearing reports of some agents leaving the business due to all the new headaches. Not to mention the impact on buyers:

@TheARPL Love this! California has embraced multiple pathways to licensure for nearly 50 years. It's great to see this model more widely accepted.

@latimes ... but buyers need to consider the pitfalls of "dual agency" and having the seller's agent represent them. Could cost them significantly more than perceived savings on commissions.

[Doug McCauley @DougMcCauleyCA]

@nardotrealtor ... the confusion this case is creating will cost some buyers a lot of $

[Doug McCauley @DougMcCauleyCA]

@WSJ An excellent analysis but buyers also need to know the pitfalls of "dual agency" ... saving money on commissions can mean not having representation and losing even more $. Here's why:
