Anatomy of a Lawsuit

What Every Real Estate Professional Should Know

Lawsuits aren’t just for the unlucky—they’re part of the landscape

This course pulls back the curtain on what really happens when deals go sideways and disputes might land in court. From the sometimes-surprising reasons lawsuits get filed, to why some disputes are settled quietly, while others go nuclear, we’ll explore how legal battles unfold and why good brokers sometimes end up in the middle. You will learn how to assist your clients’ lawyers—not from a place of fear, but with clarity and calm.



You’ll gain insight into:
✅ The often-misunderstood context behind some lawsuits
✅ How litigation unfolds—from the pre-filing psychology to the post-trial aftermath
✅ The limitations of what the legal system can (and cannot) do for those seeking justice
✅ The most common missteps that land brokers in legal trouble—and how to avoid them

This class isn’t about litigation strategy—it’s about awareness, setting realistic expectations, and reducing the stress that comes from not knowing what to expect.
