Negligent Referrals
|
All REALTORS® are in the business of giving referrals.
In this video, Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline lawyer
Annie Fitzsimmons discusses negligent referrals.
There is a claim of liability for negligent referrals which means you can be sued.
Annie talks more about what that means to you and what you can do to protect yourself (and your clients).
