October First Wednesday: Affiliate Q&A

When a real estate transaction runs into probate, title issues, divorce, or estate concerns, knowing what you can say, what you cannot say, and when to call in a professional can make all the difference.

Join us for October First Wednesday, “Living la Vida Legal,” an Affiliate Q&A focused on some of the legal situations brokers may encounter when listing and selling real property.

Two practicing local attorneys will discuss the ins and outs of probate, clearing title, family law, and estate planning, while helping brokers better understand the boundaries of their role. You’ll also gain practical resources and learn when it is time to connect your clients with the appropriate legal professional.

Whether an issue surfaces before the listing agreement is signed or threatens to delay a closing, being able to recognize potential obstacles early can help you better guide your clients and keep the transaction moving.

Know the Line Before You Cross It

Brokers are often among the first professionals to encounter complicated ownership, family, or estate situations during a real estate transaction. You do not have to provide the legal answer, but understanding the issue and knowing where to direct your client can be an important part of keeping a transaction on track.

Bring your questions and join us for an Affiliate Q&A designed to help you recognize legal roadblocks, connect clients with the right resources, and stay firmly on the right side of the line.

Join us for October First Wednesday and learn how to navigate the legal twists and turns that can show up between listing and closing.
