3.5 CE- Operation Evolve-Annie Fitzsimmons
2024-05-07 09:30 - 13:00 | LIVE WEBINAR
In January 2024, the Agency Law will be revised. The changes in law will necessitate significant change for most brokers in their delivery of services to clients. The changes will impact: the agreements brokers enter with buyers and sellers; the timing of when those agreements are signed; how those agreements are negotiated; how and even if, brokers are compensated; and many other aspects of a broker’s relationship to the broker’s client and the other party in the transaction. With the changes in law, there will be changes to the forms and there will be substantial changes in industry practices. The media will likely pick up on these changes and create consumer expectations around compensation and other practices that brokers must be prepared to address. Simply put, if you fail to prepare for the changes coming in January 2024, prepare to suffer financial, legal and/or regulatory difficulty. This class is intended to give you the information you need to empower change so that you not only avoid difficulty but so that you embrace the change to achieve greater success than before.
This class will cover…
-Why the Evolution is Necessary
-The Revised Agency Law
-Forms that changed and how to use the revised forms to accomplish consumer goals
-Creating Transparency for consumers
-Real-life scenarios, practice writing and reviewing offers
Other Details…
-Class Cost for Members: $25
