As the real estate community continues to face competing interests in control of market data and, in order to exist as a “profession”, brokers must be transactional experts that are regarded as essential and integral participants in the real estate transaction.

After completing the 2021 Core Course, brokers will have an advanced understanding of their responsibilities to the Commission, to customers, clients, other parties to the transaction, and/or other brokers.
