Safeguards That Protect Clients and Agents
Take our Absentee Seller Policy. It was designed to protect the true owner when they can’t be physically present, while also limiting liability for the agent and the brokerage. It prevents costly disputes before they arise and ensures transparency in every transaction.
There are also thorough compliance checks built into every listing contract review. These checks make sure disclosures are clear, liability is reduced and sellers are protected. For agents, that diligence saves time and protects reputations.
Financial and Legal Backing
Strong policies go beyond paperwork. At Locations, we’ve paired them with financial and legal protections that reduce an agent’s exposure. Our Errors & Omissions insurance and Legal Defense Fund are designed to keep costs manageable when issues arise. For example, on a $25,000 claim, agents are only responsible for the first $3,500—the rest is covered.
And if an ethics complaint or mediation ever occurs, you don’t walk in alone. Our Principal Broker personally accompanies agents to hearings, offering not just representation, but reassurance.
Why This Matters in Practice
Policies like these may not be the first thing clients ask about, but they feel the results. Sellers appreciate clear disclosures and protection from liability. Buyers benefit from transparent, compliant contracts. And agents know they can move forward without fear of being left exposed.
In short, these safeguards give you the confidence to focus on serving clients, building relationships and growing your business—without worrying about what might go wrong behind the scenes.
