Stay Out of Trouble In YOUR Lane
Staying in your lane can be one of your largest risk reduction tools. We will review several forms to help you "staying in your lane".
Staying in your lane is a very important concept that every agent needs to openly discuss, understand, and practice. This can be one of the largest risk reduction tools. Learning to stay in your lane is of utmost importance for today’s real estate professional. Just by trying to help agents can venture into “scary territory” well outside their “lane” or Scope. If you are not a lawyer, inspector, surveyor, lender, escrow officer, insurance provider, tax preparer, plumber, electrician, etc etc…DON’T act like one! We will share several Texas REALTORS® Forms designed exactly for this reason. Over helping, Source of the Source, Commission-ectomy, and e=evidence will all be discussed in depth, to help keep you IN YOUR LANE!
