Featured Guest Speaker: Dee Denton

Brokers Only: What’s New, What’s Risky, What’s Next


As a broker, the buck stops with you ~ and the rules are changing fast. This session is your check-up and check-in: Is your new buyer agency policy ready to implement July 1? Do you know what MREC is watching right now? Are your policies protecting your brokerage? We'll unpack the just-signed SB 2712 (effective July 1st), walk through the new buyer agency landscape, tackle your brokerage risks and share free broker resources you can use immediately. Brokers who attend will leave with a sharper eye on their risk - and a real plan to address it.
