- No more reciprocal key programming needed,

- No additional cost to you!
All agents who are members of an Association in Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange and Ventura, Counties that are part of CARETS are now on a new “Cooperative Server” and that means your key will open any box within the CARETS area.
The Coop server is set up to operate on a real-time basis. Therefore, when a key is added or changed it is immediately sent to the Coop server.
There are no extra steps.
Your MLS and CARETS have been working to accomplish this enhanced keyservice for more than a year and the task is now complete.
This is one more step in CARETS goals of giving our members the access they need to list and show properties within the CARETS areas, without having extra expense or extra work for either members or association staffs.
To view the areas that your key is set up to work in simply log into SupraWEB and click on the link for “Update Code”.
MRMLS Matrix is now pulling Open House information from the participating MLSs of CARETS–they include CLAW, CristNet, iTech and SoCalMLS. 
Let’s start with good news for homebuyers. The FHA has been very busy lately doing some good things for the market. Since they are currently backing about 30%+ of housing loans in this country (80% of first time buyers), whatever they do has a significant impact. Back in November we had a chance to chat with FHA Commissioner Dave Stevens, a Realtor® himself, and we were much encouraged by his take on the market.
