Students will learn:
- Techniques for and potential ways of working with clients to make the contract more favorable
- How to present offers to sellers to make sure they are aware of potential hidden risks and benefits
- How to work through the amendment process without risking your buyers losing their position.
- The liability of inadvertently disclosing client confidentialities
- Inherent risks found in multiple offer situations
- How to present a variety of options for seller’s to consider when responding, while avoiding the ethical dilemmas that occur when negotiating offers and discussing variable rate commissions.
A case study will explore how lack of communication with the client and the non-disclosure of a variable rate commission to sway the seller to take the listing brokers offer may create liability for both ethical complaints as well as seller harm.
