Staying out of court: Disclosure strategies for REALTORS®

A seasoned agent completed a quick walk-through of a listing and noticed small hairline cracks near a window frame. Assuming they were cosmetic paint issues, the agent omitted them from the Agent Visual Inspection Disclosure (AVID). Months after closing, major soil movement caused severe structural failure, and the buyers filed a lawsuit for negligent misrepresentation, claiming the agent failed to disclose visible red flags. What began as an innocent visual oversight resulted in months of depositions, thousands of dollars in legal expenses, and lasting damage to the agent's professional reputation.

To find out how to protect a business against high-stakes liability traps, join litigation consultant Robert Brand for 'Staying Out of Court'. Drawing from decades of courtroom experience and property inspections, Robert translates the complex legalese of disclosure risk litigation and delivers clear, actionable defense strategies to REALTORS® that will help them identify red flags, document findings correctly, and protect transactions before disputes arise.
