There have been critical revisions to Washington’s Agency Law. The revised act took effect on January 1, 2024. 

These changes affect how ALL real estate brokers conduct business, regardless of whether your business is primarily commercial or residential.

To give our members critical information about the shifts in Washington's Agency Law and help them implement the provisions of the new law properly, we’ve created a New Washington Agency Law Resources Page on the CBA Website. The page includes a short overview video (click below to view now), relevant documentation. We hope you find it useful!

DATE: Thursday, January 4, 2023

TIME: 9:00 a.m. - Noon

CREDITS: 3 CE Credits

LOCATION: Live Webinar 

COST: $39 CBA Members | $69 Non-Members

The Agency Law changes impact all aspects of how you do business, from agreements with clients to compensation structures.

IMPORTANT: CBA has revised the Legal Library PRO forms that are affected. Updated forms are now available in Legal Library PRO and on the CBA website.

We are offering a live webinar class to help our members understand the revisions to the law and properly execute all required forms. 

We highly encourage ALL BROKERS, ADMINS, AND ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH CBA'S LEGAL LIBRABRY PRO FORMS to take the class to understand how their practices and conversations will change when the law changes.

Updated forms and the Real Estate Brokerage in Washington Pamphlet will be available for review and discussion during the classes.

Don't get caught unprepared. You must understand this critical information to conduct your business!

If your real estate license expires in 2024, it's time to get going on your required 30 credit hours of CRE continuing education!

We've continued to build out our on-demand CBA course catalog to give you the most relevant, highest quality, commercially focused classes on the market in a 24/7, online format. 

We also offer Commercial Renewal Packages. They're a great way to earn ALL the CE credits you need to renew your license for one very reasonable price!
