It is vital for an agent or licensee to stay up to date with the law. First-time buyers and people selling their homes after many years are completely out of touch with the recent updates in legislation. As an agent who understands local and state laws and their impacts in the industry and who has the ability to discuss new legislation, you will be able to comfort cautious consumers.
