Imagine you receive notice that your firm is about to be audited by the Department of Licensing. You might ask, “What’s that got to do with me? That’s an administrative issue.” It has A LOT to do with you! The procedures and maintenance of your transaction folder is imperative in ensuring your firm thrives through an audit and that you stay out of hot water. We invited Bill Dutra and Cathy McDonald from the Department of Licensing to speak with #WRLegalHotline Lawyer Annie Fitzsimmons to explain what the Department of Licensing specifically looks for during an audit, especially as it pertains to a fully, signed PSA, earnest money, advertising, and more.
In this second episode, the panel discusses Purchase and Sale Agreements, and how they can affect a DOL audit of your firm.

Stay tuned each Friday throughout July for a new episode!
