September is REALTOR® Safety Month, and there's no better time to reassess your safety protocols and make safety a top-of-mind priority. Safety is a healthy habit that could save your life. So, don’t wait until the worst happens - be prepared with measures to cut down the chances of becoming a target.

The recorded Forms Change Training Sessions hosted by ARA Risk Reduction are 

available now on the Arkansas REALTORS® website home page, DropBox, Youtube, and Vimeo. Sessions were combined into a single Forms Change Training video that includes questions asked during each session. Training sessions addressed normal yearly changes but focused more heavily on changes resulting from the ongoing NAR Settlement.

THIS TRAINING IS UP TO DATE & RELEVANT AS OF THE DATE OF PUBLISHING- AUGUST 20, 2024

All REVISED forms will be indicated by an "R" after "2024" in the copyright section on the top right corner of the form. You must click and open the document to see this.

ARA Risk Reduction is working to publish a Best Practices Guide to distribute to membership in accompaniment of new forms training. The guide is being formulated in observance of calls, emails, texts, frequently asked questions, and content of the training sessions to devise a comprehensive and all-encompassing tool. This guide is not yet available but will be provided to full membership immediately upon completion. 

As of August 17, 2024,

compensation offers are no longer allowed on MLS listings. This video series breaks down new regulations resulting from the settlement and how brokers are impacted.

In our latest episode we sit down with ARA President Jennifer Welch & Association Counsel Tim Grooms about the NAR Settlement and exactly how it might change things for AR REALTORS®.
