Robert Brand - Avoid Litigation

REALTORS® can face issues stemming from inadequate disclosure practices-- for example, ambiguous disclosure language, undisclosed red flag property issues like roof leaks or structural defects, and neighborhood nuisances– all of which can lead to litigation risks from clients who feel they were not properly informed about the property.

This one-hour session includes a set of practical REALTOR® tools for proper disclosure practices:

  • Updated TDS/AVID disclosure strategies for Fall 2025 – ensuring compliance with the latest requirements.
  • Proven disclosure language examples that minimize liability and reduce the likelihood of disputes.
  • Recognition of “major red flags” so REALTORS® know exactly when to dig deeper, document more, or seek expert input.

At  the end of this class, REALTORS® will:

  • Know how to write disclosures that protect both clients and themselves from legal exposure.
  • Gain the ability to spot and respond to property issues before they escalate into lawsuits.
  • Strengthen their confidence in navigating conversations with buyers and sellers about sensitive property conditions.
  • Be known as a top professional agent who practices transparency, compliance, and gains client trust.

Don’t leave you, your business, and your clients legally exposed—acquire the means to protect all 3!
