Rich Sands - Strategic Empowerment for 2024

Question: What can you do to prepare to have your best year ever in 2024? Answer: strategic Empowerment.  So, if I’m you and some guy like me tells me that I need strategic empowerment, I’m all YEAH BABY, let’s do it! Empower me. Then I’m asking, “what’s strategic empowerment?”  Empowerment is  generally defined as the authority or power given to someone to do something BUT many people define it as “the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life.” CONTROL.    So it’s ME taking control of MY stuff that empowers me? I like that. We will look at 5 areas of your business and your life where you can gain or regain control by creating strategies for success. Sounds deep, huh? Eh, maybe.  Strategic Empowerment…. Sounds so good you can’t miss it.

Trista Curzydlo - I’ve Got my Eye on You! Surveillance and Real Estate

A quick Amazon search or Best Buy browse will reveal dozens of various cameras and recording devices that are easily hidden from sight that allow sellers to record activity in their home when it’s for sale. Whether the device is there for the seller’s peace of mind, or to provide the seller with an advantage at the negotiation table, agents need to have a plan in place to handle the “nanny cam conundrum.” With nearly 80% of all web traffic being video-driven, the use of drones to capture amazing footage of a property is on the rise. This course addresses the question: What are the rules that apply to drone usage and what should agents know about them?

Trisa Curzydlo - Everything Old is New Again: Fair Housing, Antitrust & the Data Deluge

In 2019, over 5 billion records were exposed through data breaches. If you’ve been the victim of a data breach, you know how damaging even one record being exposed can be. This course examines the real estate professional’s role in protecting their client’s data and respecting the data leveraged by social and digital media. How collected data is handled in terms of fair housing will affect everyone moving forward–from large platforms such as Facebook to the individual agent trying to reach “target” markets. Also up for examination are real estate professionals’ postings on public platforms that violate 100+ year old antitrust laws. How these old laws resurface and apply with a digital medium directly impacts how brokers must manage their brokerages.
