DescriptionLocationInstructors DBs have a special role in their firms. Not only are DBs responsible for the supervision of all RE Brokerage Services that flow from their firms, they should also be the first classroom from which education around new laws, forms, practices and consumer protections emerge. Moreover, DBs must create and teach office policies that demand compliance with laws and consumer protections. The changes confronting the industry in January 2024 are monumental and require DBs to be prepared with revised office policies, firm education and ready answers to the challenges that will confront their brokers. This class will ignite the conversation that will empower each DB to analyze issues within their own firm, raise questions with their own legal counsel regarding development of office policies and teach to their brokers, the many changes that brokers must embrace to not only succeed in the business but to fully realize the transparency and consumer protection components of Washington’s revised Agency Law.

Along with answering thousands of questions for REALTORS® every year, she develops curriculum, authors articles, makes educational videos, serves as a public speaker for industry partners, testifies and advises regarding legislation that will impact the delivery of real estate brokerage services, and maintains a strong working relationship with regulatory agencies. Without question, however, her favorite pursuit as the Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline lawyer is working with brokers individually and in a classroom setting to strengthen each REALTOR's delivery of brokerage services so that they exceed the expectations of their clients, preserve earned income and increase the standing of the REALTOR® community in and around the state. Annie graduated with honors from the University of Washington School of Law and then joined the Tacoma law firm of Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell where she practiced until becoming the Hotline lawyer. Prior to attending law school, Annie sold real estate with her parents' real estate firm in Lakewood, Washington. Suffice to say, Annie has loved and worked with REALTORS® nearly her entire life.
