Why Should My Website Be ADA Compliant? Avoid Lawsuits for Being Non-Compliant
2023-06-05 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Via Zoom
Federal judges rule that non-compliant websites violate Americans with Disabilities Act.
ADA laws are interpreted to apply to all web-based and electronic content, requiring that websites be easily accessible for those who are blind or visually impaired. Businesses whose websites fail to comply with this standard are vulnerable to legal claims that can cost a small fortune in court costs and legal settlements.
People are filing costly lawsuits across the country and more are expected
Business owners threatened with lawsuits are obligated to pay for an attorney, pay to fix their website and likely pay additional fees to settle the case out of court. It is stressful, expensive and time consuming. Businesses Large and small are vulnerable.

There are other advantages to a compliant website besides avoiding a lawsuit.
• YOU ARE LIKELY LOSING MONEY – Stats show that 71% of web users with a disability leave sites that aren’t accessible.
• DIGITAL MARKETING –Getting your website in compliance could help you get favorable rankings with Google.
• BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR ALL – An accessible website serves users with a disability and it makes the user experience better for everyone.

Selling Houses When Co-Owners Disagree - LIVE CLASS
2023-06-19 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | South Bay AOR, Torrance, California, 90501
The Presentation will discuss the relatively straightforward Partition process, where one party wants to sell and the other does not. This does not relate to lot splits. Instead, partition lawsuits actually have much more relevance to today’s residential and commercial real estate industry, which can help Realtors sell more houses. The target audience is salespeople.
In fact, there are many California homeowners who feel locked into co-ownership with a sibling, an ex-partner, or a co-investor who doesn’t want to sell. Many of these people are being turned away by agents who don’t know how to help them. What’s more, co-ownership arrangements like these are on the rise, as more couples choose to buy homes together without being married. A clear understanding of the partition action process, and the liberation it offers, is essential in today’s real estate market.

Key Takeaways
• Learn about a real estate opportunity which many agents are unaware of
• Convert leads that are currently being turned away
• Gain advanced-level real estate knowledge
• Learn how to sell a home when an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend wants to be bought out, but the other won’t budge
• Learn how to sell property owned by business partners after the relationship has soured
• Learn how to sell real estate when one sibling wants to sell an inherited house, but the other does not
