Watching Larry preside over the association, over our Budget and Finance Committee in particular, and the fact that he has been asked to come back and Chair multiple times is a true testament to how much trust our Directors have in him. He’s led the way for us before and we trust that he is the progressive leader that C.A.R. needs to get us through this critical time today.

Larry has been a strong supporter for C.A.R. for a number of years, and I have had the privilege of seeing him in action. The most recent is him as a liaison to both SPF and to MLS (which I am a part of). When he speaks he always has great ideas to share (awesome contributor) and he is an extremely hard worker. As a chair of a working group, I really appreciate his support, well-thought out and quick turnaround time in response or comments

I highly endorse Larry Black for CAR Treasurer. His vast experience, knowledge, and leadership in policy is greatly important as the industry continues to be targeted by legislators and regulatory agencies. I have had the privilege of witnessing Larry's great skill in this arena from his time as an Issues Chair, Vice Chair and Chair of Transaction and Regulatory, Vice Chair and Chair of the Legislative Committee, and as Chair of Conventional Finance and Policy Committee at NAR. His resume speaks for itself of his other leadership roles in policy. Larry has also been appointed by the commissioner on multiple occasions as a Subject Matter Expert with the DRE and to the Escrow Law Advisory Committee with the DFPI. With his experience within the associations and in business as a broker/owner of real estate brokerage, mortgage, title and escrow companies, along with his calm demeanor and analytical approach, I believe Larry Black is the ideal choice to lead the association forward as CAR Treasurer.
