This is a "double-header" type class where we have bundled two excellent Annie courses into one day of learning. We invite you to LEAP into learning on LEAP day! 

 

The first topic is Busting Industry Myths. 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.

 

Then Annie will present Operation Evolve 2.0. Many of you may remember taking the Operation Evolve class we offered last November discussing the (then) upcoming changes to Agency Law. Well, now that the changes have taken effect we have even more to talk about. The revised Agency Law took effect January 1, 2024, and changed existing law, practices and forms within the Washington real estate industry. The changes were dramatic and impacted substantially, the way that brokers engage with consumers, how brokers are compensated, how brokers memorialize compensation agreements, and how consumers view the industry and their involvement in residential and commercial real estate transactions.  This class will cover....
