Conquering Brokerage Agreements – Addresses Agency, Disclosure, Enforcement Issues

The NVAR Education Department is excited to launch a new 2017 program designed to help agents understand the legal principles of brokerage agreements and why those agreements are so important in a real estate transaction. The course, Conquering Brokerage Agreements, covers the types of agency relationships that exist between a licensee and client; disclosure requirements of the licensee; and the interpretation and enforcement of the listing agreements and buyer broker agreement forms currently used in the Northern Virginia real estate market. Specifically, licensees will learn the importance of having a buyer broker agreement in place at the outset of the working relationship with a buyer:  it establishes the business relationship between the buyer and agent, and also the duties and obligations of all parties to the transaction.

Conquering Brokerage Agreements debuts June 16 at NVAR Fairfax from 9 a.m. -noon. This course will be taught by NVAR General Counsel Sarah Louppe Petcher, and carries three hours of broker management CE or three hours of elective CE.
