Common Violations in Agency Law
Agency is integral to your role in representing your clients. It's a beautiful, symbiotic relationship. When it works.
In this course we’ll discuss situations where agency can go wrong. Violations of agency duties (negligence, misrepresentation, and breaches of fiduciary duty) comprise the vast majority of claims against errors and omissions insurance policies. The same holds true for civil actions brought against real estate licensees by the public.
The DOS publishes online the negotiated settlements when a licensed New York state broker or salesperson has violated state licensing law. This section is designed to help you understand the types of violations that occur and how to keep yourself off that list.
