🧵 What do you think about @TRECommission's proposed broker responsibility rules?
🤳🏽 One requires brokers/sales agents to respond to their principal, a broker/sales agent representing another party, or an unrepresented party to a real estate transaction w/in 2 calendar days
🧑💼 Another increases the minimum number of times a broker must ensure assistance and coaching for a new type of brokerage activity performed by an agent from one time to three times.
