The CDAR Broker Tour

The CDAR Broker Tour Returns!

Starting in the first week of June 2025, the California Desert Association of REALTORS® is excited to announce the return of the CDAR Broker Tour! The Broker Tour is your way to show properties to REALTOR® members and showcase your listing. The tour is not open to the general public to attend.

The CDAR Broker Tour is a “Go As You Choose” process. On each list, you decide which homes you want to visit on that specific day. There will not be any official CDAR gathering or meeting before the tour. You download the list from the CDAR website and visit it at your leisure, touring the properties that you choose.

What is the Broker Tour Schedule?

The Broker Tour days will follow the schedule below for each specified area:

  • Tuesdays from 11 AM to 2 PM: Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage
