Class Held Via Zoom

• Providing historical and contemporary case studies that illustrate common fraud schemes and emerging threats, including AI
• Training licensees to recognize red flags and suspicious activities in transactions.
• Reinforcing the importance of adherence to real estate laws, ethical guidelines, and best practices.
