The status of the real estate agent: 15 potential pitfalls examined
On the 15th of April 2027 Legal Learning is hosting a webinar taught by two of our Real Estate partners. It regards the updated Code of Conduct of the Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents, which entered into force on October 1, 2026.
This new code updates the deontological framework and emphasizes, among other things, honest communication, protection of privacy, discretion, and the disclosure of relevant professional and financial information in external communications.
During this webinar, Ulrike Beuselinck and Koen de Puydt approach the statute from a practical legal perspective. The focus is on fifteen problem areas that arise during the commencement, execution, and termination of the brokerage assignment, as well as the civil, disciplinary, and criminal risks associated with errors, conflicts of interest, or incomplete information.
Participants receive a training certificate and 2 study points (OVB – IBJ – BIV – ITAA – IGO)
