BROKER BUSINESS: Risk Management for Managing Brokers

Broker Business: Risk Management for Managing Brokers is a strategic course designed to help managing and qualifying brokers identify, assess, and mitigate risk within their real estate firms.

This class focuses on the broker’s role as both a business owner and compliance leader.
