Cal BRE Spring 2018 Real Estate Bulletin from

Commissioner Wayne Bell's Message:

We Appreciate, Welcome, and Need Your Ideas, Input, Counsel, and Engagement—on Everything We Do

Some ancient societies underscored the value and importance of repetition of thoughts in leading toward advancements and results. So please forgive me if I follow their lead and repeat myself (in part) below.

As those of you who have read my commentaries or heard me speak in public know, I believe deeply in the importance of what is done by the California Bureau of Real Estate (CalBRE) and I fully endorse and emphasize CalBRE’s workplace values and its mission to safeguard and promote the public interests in real estate matters. Moreover, it has been—and continues to be—my goal as Real Estate Commissioner to continually improve CalBRE. That includes our operations generally, the content of the Real Estate Bulletin and all of our publications, and enhancing the value of what we do in the areas of examinations, licensing, education, enforcement and administrative prosecutions, information technology, timeshares, and subdivisions.

During our Executive Committee (made up of the assistant commissioners over all of our program areas and me) meetings, we discuss how we can be more proactive and innovative, how we can do more outreach, provide better content in our publications—as well as write and issue necessary warnings and alerts. We enrich our outcomes in terms of protecting consumers and providing value to the public and all of our stakeholders—including licensees, builders, and timeshare developers. Of course, we also talk about new and/or emerging issues in the real estate, timeshare, and subdivision arenas, policy ideas and issues, and challenges of all sorts, especially those affecting programs. But all discussions ultimately return to our focus on how we can help make CalBRE better.

In a recent communication regarding our last Real Estate Bulletin, a reader (who is also a licensee) wrote: “Excellent practical answers to the ongoing how to list your license number ... and I loved the answers! Great advice on broker associate topics, trust funds, etc. That’s a great example for agencies working with licensees in a proactive way.”

We truly appreciated that feedback, and ask that you (our readers) reach out to us and share your thoughts and ideas for topics, articles, and more. Without your participation, we are left to our own devices and thoughts as to content, coverage, and the significance of what we provide. Obviously, there is certain information (and data) we want and need to share with our stakeholders and readers. But we benefit greatly from your thoughtful advice. Wayne S. Bell Commissioner (Continued)
