I got a message from my board saying there is an opportunity to learn about the new California Association of Realtors (CAR) residential purchase agreement (RPA).
OK. I checked it out. Everything looked OK until I saw that they were charging $69 for members and $75 for non-members.
What?!
CAR changed the RPA, for our sake...of course, and now they want to charge us for the instructions. Why isn't this part of our membership benefits?
The explanation I got was that they have to pay for the speaker to fly out here, and for a book.
First, CAR has enough money to pay their speakers. Don't they?
Second, why is a book included? Can't make copies of the RPA?
The final line I got was "other realtors have told us that the training was worth the cost." Oh, and that makes it right?!
CAR, c'mmon. You're always trying to sell me something.
