An 5月号上的一篇文章 of the magazine explained what agents should know in the event their broker passes away. But a key takeaway from the article was actually for brokers: Make sure your brokerage has a succession plan in place. Warren Ivey agreed, and recommends brokers who want to learn more attend the 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人大会 于9月8日在圣安东尼奥举行.

“If you’ve ever thought about the next chapter of your career, you won’t want to miss the session on real-estate-brokerage succession planning,艾维说. “Real estate attorney Rick Albers and broker Mike Mengden will discuss legal and business details to consider before selling or transferring your business. Thank you TAR for staying a step ahead.”

A blog post about TREC’s proposed draft for a new release of earnest money form garnered a lot of discussion about whether it’s worthwhile. While the 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® doesn’t oppose a TREC release of earnest money form, it does advocate for continued use of its form, or TREC adopting the TAR form’s language. More than 60 commenters, including Tom Allen and Claude Humbert, agreed with TAR’s position. “If TREC wants to have a form available for use by everybody, they should use the TAR form which has been used obviously successfully for 20 years,亨伯特说. The public comment period for the form closed last month, but you can always contact 一般.counsel@trec.德州.政府 when you have feedback about TREC forms.

In a poll, we asked 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® if smart-home technology attracts buyers. Eighteen percent of respondents say smart-home tech is very important, 37%的人认为这有点重要, 45%的人说这并不重要. Susan Patterson said she’d rather buyers decide what type of smart-home technology they want, because she’s seen how built-in smart-home features become obsolete. “A couple of years back, iPhone and iPod docks were being built in the walls,” she said. “Apple changed the connector, making them look outdated as opposed to being cool tech. Prospective buyers become distracted by trying to figure out how to remove or update. Anyone have buyers who laugh at those retro, 巨大的, all-house intercoms with the built-in AM/FM stereo and cassette deck?”
