CFPB Responses & AOL Memo

Hello Members! Only 3 weeks until the kickoff of Gator football! While I do not attend the games in person (too hot; too crowded), I do enjoy the hype that comes along with it and the opportunity to watch college football in the comfort of my own home with friends and family around. Hope whatever team you support has a good year (but I will be rooting for the Orange and Blue).

New Laws & Forms Coming Your Way

Hello Members! We are definitely in the throes of summer - hot, humid, daily thunderstorms - and no college sports! I have to be content with tennis, golf and soccer (oops - sorry - football). As promised, I have included a summary of some of the bills coming out of this year's legislative session. I have thrown in some information about the changes resulting from the NAR settlement. Here goes. Hope you enjoy.

So Much Excitement in May!

Hello Members! May is officially here…..one of my favorite months because there is so much going on and so much energy being generated when good people get together to talk about industry stuff. I am headed to the ALTA Advocacy Summit in Washington, DC, where I will get a lot more information about the various federal issues affecting us. Then it's FUND ASSEMBLY week! Can't wait to see all of you there in Orlando. Then the following week is the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section Convention. Again, I love May!
