Preparing for Practice Changes Episodes of 'Drive with NAR' Podcast
Louisiana REALTORS® • June 10, 2024
Now is a window of opportunity for REALTORS® to adjust the way we do business, educate our clients, and move forward with transactions before new practice changes take effect on August 17. This week, President Kevin Sears announced three new episodes of the "Drive With NAR" podcast that will help members do all that and more—they'll hear tips on answering buyers' questions on the settlement, how to adapt to change, and educating sellers on the options available to them when it comes to listing their homes.
The episodes are now live. You can visit magazine.realtor/drive or wherever you get your podcasts to listen.
