Confidence

Do your homework
Stay in Dialogue but never divulge too much
Communication

Absence of communication will be filled with Negativity
We reviewed the following articles :
The Code of Ethics is to be followed by all REALTORS in the country. Any violations of the code are handled locally by the Grievance and Professional Standards Committees.
Procuring Cause – this is a great article and should be reviewed by everyone as this is a common question that we get. Procuring cause is not clear cut and any disputes are handled locally via arbitration at the Board.
We discussed common contractual pitfalls.. Be sure to review this article and save yourself some headaches.
