Events under 'Education Webinar'

Federal oversight of real estate transactions is expanding, and REALTORS® need to be prepared. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has finalized new reporting requirements that will impact residential real estate transactions nationwide, with an effective date of March 1, 2026.

This webinar is designed to help REALTORS® understand what’s coming, who is affected, and how these new regulations may impact transactions already in the pipeline. With increased scrutiny on cash purchases, beneficial ownership, and anti–money laundering efforts, early awareness is critical to protecting your business and your clients.

Don’t wait until a transaction triggers a reporting requirement; learn what to watch for and how to stay compliant before the rules take effect.

Key Takeaways:

• What FinCEN is and why real estate is under increased scrutiny
• What changed on March 1, 2026, and which transactions may be affected
• Red flags that may indicate reportable activity
• How to reduce risk and protect your license

In real estate, the fortune is in the follow-up.  You can generate leads, meet buyers, and win listing appointments, but without consistent follow-up, opportunities will slip away. Follow-up is one of the most overlooked yet most profitable parts of the sales process. Too often, it becomes a scattered task or gets delayed.  In this focused session, Wanda gets to the root of why follow-up gets neglected and how to fix it.

REALTORS will leave with a clear understanding of the fundamentals that will make follow-up effective.  

Key Takeaways:

• Why using a follow-up system is critical for long-term sales success
• Common follow-up systems that don’t work and what to do instead
• How mindset directly impacts consistency and confidence in follow-up
• Eye-opening sales statistics that reinforce the importance of follow-up.
• Three simple, immediately actionable strategies to boost follow-up performance

Bottom line: The agent who consistently follows up is the one who gets the business.
