Perhaps you also belong to a trade association connected to the real estate business that has a code of conduct and you see that as a requirement for engaging in the business.

laws applicable to their license. The course covers the requirements Texas law places upon all license holders regard­ing ethical conduct when facilitating a real estate transaction.

2022 has had some interesting changes that have challenged agents and brokers. We know that we must place the clients interests ahead of our own. We need to understand the relationship between brokers and agents when dealing with clients. As tax assessments have rolled out, agents and brokers need to understand the relationship between assessments and tax rates and pass that information on to their clients. As the lending industry tries to cope with lack of appraisers, new products and rising interest rates, agency relationships require professionals to explain the concerns to their clients. Utilizing industry experts, this class will provide insight into today’s issues with the end goal of protecting clients and customers.

Brokers and Office Managers, please join us for important Association, MLS, and Industry updates at this informative, virtual meeting hosted by your local REALTOR® board.

This session examines current hot issues based upon changes in guidelines, policies, and procedures from TREC, TAR, state, and/or or federal sources. Potential topics include RESPA changes and how they affect current transactions; changes in licensing laws, including adult education; how to properly price their listings, negotiate price reductions, and effectively close reluctant buyers. Knowing how to handle these issues will help agents raise the bar in terms of customer service, agent reviews, conflict resolution, and risk management.
