Discussion Question

 

Each month, the Suburban West REALTORS Association will provide Association Liaisons with a question in which we are seeking member feedback on.   We urge you to discuss this question with agents at your office during a sales meeting, through an email, or during the course of your daily conversations when appropriate.

For the next Association Liaison meeting scheduled for June 16, I will be inviting our Director of Professional Standards, Paula Tansey, to facilitate a group discussion about the Association's Resolution Management Services.  In preparation for the meeting, Association Liaisons are asked to bring comments or questions from their respective offices about due process hearings and/or Mediations.

Caution 

 Recognizing Mortgage Fraud

 

Mortgage Fraud has been a problem for as long as properties have been financed.  In recent years, it has become an issue for real estate agents who may be involved in a transaction that involved mortgage fraud.  It is imperative brokers have a policy to address the issue internally, since they are held responsible if their agents are involved in a fraudulent transaction.

 

To protect brokers and their agents, NAR has developed a brochure to help explain to members on how to identify the signs of mortgage fraud.  The FREE document is available as a flyer or brochure.
