Avoiding Legal Pitfalls in California Real Estate
The Biggest Legal Mistakes Realtors Make and How to Avoid Them

Most agents don’t realize how quickly a standard transaction can turn into a legal issue. One missed disclosure, one poorly handled contingency, or one careless text message can create serious liability.

In this practical, real-world training, we’ll break down the most common legal pitfalls agents face in California and how to avoid them in your day-to-day business.

You’ll learn:

• The 5 biggest legal mistakes agents make and why they happen
• How to properly handle disclosures and avoid costly omissions
• The right way to manage contingencies, timelines, and extensions
• Why your texts and emails matter more than you think
• The risks of dual agency and how to stay compliant
• How title and vesting issues can quietly derail a deal

We’ll also take a closer look at the preliminary title report, what to look for, and how to catch issues early before they become closing problems.

Beyond the problems, this session focuses on solutions. You’ll walk away with a simple, practical risk-reduction toolkit you can apply immediately, along with commonly used best practices in the industry to protect themselves and their clients.

This class is ideal for:

• New agents who want to build a strong foundation
• Experienced agents who want to avoid costly mistakes
• Brokers looking to reduce risk across their team

Co-presented by a real estate attorney and a title professional, this session brings both legal and real-world transaction insight together in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately useful.

If you’re serious about protecting your business, your clients, and your license, this is a class you don’t want to miss.
