Contract Pitfalls, one of our four-hour related continuing education credit courses, will identify areas in a contract that bring about the most controversy between sellers, buyers and agents. Understanding these pitfalls will allow the licensee to better serve the public and increase their awareness to the terms of the contract.
The classroom sessions are taught by local attorneys Donnie Coleman and Dominic Lascara.
