DescriptionLocationInstructors There is too much involved with the provision of RE Brokerage Services for brokers to learn everything they need to know in classes. Thus, brokers will learn much about how to practice RE sales from their mentors and peers, including brokers on the other side of the transaction. Often, best practices and other industry truths are handed down from one broker to another by oral instruction or through modeling the behavior of a broker who is thought to know more. This can be productive and helpful in creating competent, well-educated brokers. However, it also tends to perpetuate bad, erroneous practices. We've always done it this way is a refrain that illustrates resistance to change even when change is appropriate. This class will dismantle common myths within the industry by demonstrating their falsity and explaining a correct approach. The myths identified below are set out in no particular order and could be substituted for other myths that appear to be more timely or to be causing more trouble within the current industry. Swinomish Casino and Lodge Swinomish Casino and Lodge12885 Casino DriveAnacortes, WA 98221 Map & Directions Annie Fitzsimmons Annie Fitzsimmons is the Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline lawyer and has served the brokerage community in that capacity since 2001. 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.
