We hope you were able to attend our educational event: “Don’t Get
Caught Short” and “Make Sure You Get Paid”, held at the
Pensacola Board of Realtors. Our guest speakers for the first half were:
Attorneys Kerry Anne Schultz and Jeff Surer.
Emphasis was on the short sale contract; time lines, earnest money, multiple
offers and signed contracts vs offers.
This was not a class to tell you how to do short sales, but was geared around
answering all of our questions regarding protecting our clients in this type of
transaction as well as learning exactly what the short sale contract really
says.
The topic of the second half of this seminar was procuring cause lead by
David Collins. His main topic was commission disputes. He explained what we had
to do to make sure we get paid in a transaction. How important it is to tell to
our customers how we work and our duties to them and their duties to us. It was
suggested that we keep a log of our time spent with each customer as well as our
correspondences. Abandonment by an agent was also discussed. Mr. Collins. He
also touched on what kind of information we would need to provide a committee if
we ever did need to file a complaint.
This class was very well received and attended by over 60 students.
