What Changed for 2026

Learn what’s changed—including the new RAD form for clearer compensation disclosures, the Buyer Representation and Broker Compensation Agreement (BRBC), and important updates to the RPA and Listing Agreement. This class breaks down what you need to know to protect your business and confidently use the new forms in 2026.

Stay informed. Stay compliant.
