Description

General Membership Luncheon. $15.00 - Open to MGAR Members Only - Speaker: Maura Neill, GAR V.P. of Professional Development. Topic is FAIR PLAY: Buyer Representation and How to Convey Your Value as a REALTOR. Homebuyers have had access to fair and equal transaction representation since the 1990s. Now, the value and process of buyer representation has come under scrutiny not only with the NAR proposed lawsuit’s settlement terms but also under the ever-more-critical eye of the DOJ . Removal of MLS compensation offers and the mandating of written agreements have real estate licensees questioning both how to serve their buyer clients and how they will be paid for their work. In this session, Maura discusses the value of the REALTOR® brand, the value of the work that REALTORS® do every day, and strategies for success in the changing real estate landscape, while giving straightforward information and practical tools for any practitioner.
