REALTORS® spend a lot of time on the move, driving between appointments, visiting unfamiliar locations and sometimes working after hours.

This week’s safety reminders focus on situational awareness: choosing safe routes, researching unfamiliar areas, staying connected and taking extra precautions when working alone.
The goal isn’t to be fearful. It’s to be prepared.

👉 Swipe through, save these reminders, and share them with someone in your office.

⚖️ Step into the courtroom with MCAR!

Join the Mid-Columbia Association of Realtors® for an interactive Mock Trial presented by Oregon and Washington trial and litigation attorney, Brad Anderson.

This engaging class will explore two issues that can create serious risk in real estate transactions: dual agency and adverse possession. Rather than simply hearing a lecture, attendees will role play, get involved, watch the facts, arguments and legal issues unfold through a realistic mock-trial experience.

You’ll leave with a stronger understanding of how to:
• Recognize potential dual-agency conflicts and liability
• Identify adverse-possession concerns before they become disputes
• Improve client communication and documentation
• Ask better questions and protect both your clients and your business
