Class, Courses, Education Details You're Registered! DescriptionLocationInstructors 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.

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.
