Class, Courses, Education Details You're Registered! DescriptionLocationInstructorsCancellation Policy You have been through a lot of changes lately, and more change is coming. On August 17, every REALTOR®-owned MLS will cease publishing offers of compensation in the MLS. Moreover, the listing agreements used by brokers who list property in a REALTOR®-owned MLS will change substantially. Will the sellers you represent still have the ability to offer compensation to a buyer broker? They will not … unless you learn about the changes to the revised listing agreement in advance and prepare to use it. If your seller offers compensation to a buyer broker, where will you advertise that offer? If you are a buyer broker, how will you know if the seller is offering compensation? Washington law requires you to disclose offers of compensation from seller to buyer, and the revised Form 21 incorporates this disclosure and the buyer’s negotiation for the seller’s payment. The Buyer Brokerage Services Agreement will be simplified, but the simpler form eliminates choices that you are no longer allowed to extend to buyers. Suffice it to say, forms and practices are changing in dramatic ways. If you are not prepared, you will have no problem selling real estate. You simply run the risk of working for free.

When she was 11 years old, her parents opened a real estate company and she worked in the office first as the cleaning crew, later as a receptionist, bookkeeper and typist and ultimately as a real estate licensee. At age 23, she school at the University of Washington and upon graduating, began her legal career with the Tacoma law firm of Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell, Malanca, Peterson & Daheim. She was one of the firm’s primary residential real property lawyers until 2001 when she left to open her own office and since has served as Washington Realtors Legal Hotline Attorney as well as providing a variety of other legal services for WR. She served on the task force that drafted the Agency Law from 1994 to 1996 and the task force that worked in 2004 and 2005 considering revisions to the Licensing Law, RCW 18.85. She has sued and defended real property owners, buyers, sellers and brokers across the state but has recently made it her personal priority to ensure that no Washington REALTOR® is ever sued again for something they could have avoided. Believing that education is the best way to achieve this goal, she is here today. So, take advantage of her experience and ask questions that are important to you. Raise your hand and focus discussion on issues that are challenging you today.
