With great esteem we thank the following engaged Designated REALTORS … They’ve raised the bar by participating in the 1st Knowledge is Power regional meeting series. We had 3 meetings throughout the county and covered emerging trends. There was a full report from the NAR annual meeting, including new MLS regulations on the way, website mandates and changing market dynamics as it relates to syndication and the data issues on national aggregator sites. We also covered housing projections, tips from the new 2014 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers website and the impact of student debt on the future of the industry. In the legal arena, we covered some liability issues that can happen when using out of area agreements and how best to avoid scams and protect escrow and safe guard from computer hacking scams. We delved into strengthening agent relationships, independent contractor agreements and had a hearty open discussion on regional issues. The next sessions will be scheduled for the first quarter of 2015 and the Anita Hill Office Policy all-day session will be in April 2015.
