New Cooke'd Briefing alert!

Candy Krohmer Cooke loves conferences. She's an extrovert, in case you didn't notice. But even if you're not, there's immense value in getting to know your colleagues IRL.

If you're not sure how to begin, find Candy at an event and say hello. She'll introduce you to everybody else. 🤣

The Cooke'd Briefing: Come to a Conference! Meet Your Peers IRL.

Candy Krohmer Cooke has been a real estate pro since you were in diapers. She's currently a Texan who wears many hats (none of them ten gallons): Real estate broker. Certified general appraiser who knows residential and commercial. Agent eLearning partner. She's managed and developed properties and arbitrated tax protest cases. Pretty much the only job she hasn't done is rodeo clown.

But in a metaphorical sense, she's done that job, too. As a wildly popular CE instructor for agents, brokers, and appraisers, she keeps the bull at bay and has her audience laughing in the aisles.

Get to know her — at a conference, in the live-virtual classroom, or in her Cooke'd Real Estate Facebook community group, where she wrangles heated debates (and heads off stampedes) like a seasoned cowhand. After a few minutes with Candy, you'll feel like you've always known her. Her warmth is real, and her curiosity is contagious. That is her greatest gift, and it's what makes her one of the most beloved instructors in Texas. See for yourself.

NEW COURSE ALERT!

Who owns the water that flows through (and under) properties in Texas? Be the agent who understands it.

Water ownership, regulation, and supply issues are growing across Texas. Surface water is state-owned. Groundwater is privately owned but regulated. Wells are not automatically protected, and municipal service is not guaranteed.

If you sell property in Texas, you need to understand water.

Water issues can derail contracts, create disclosure problems, trigger E&O claims, and confuse buyers and sellers. This course gives you practical knowledge to recognize risk, communicate clearly, and protect your clients and your license.

If water touches your transactions, this course is for you.

Tuesday, March 24th
9AM -12PM Central Time
3hr CE (live via Zoom meeting)

Locked into low mortgage rates, many residents are rebuilding instead of moving — reshaping the city’s housing market in the process.

Using an AI tool to virtually stage a home can save agents thousands in overhead. But the images can be misleading — and even disturbing — to potential buyers.

Generated images for listings are disturbing—and not just because they can feel like a scam.

What is a “public adjuster”?

In , private investigator and author Tyler Maroney asks a “public” insurance adjuster to explain the difference between their work and what staff adjusters for the insurance companies do. Technically, public adjusters are independent parties who help you negotiate with insurance providers and navigate claims. “He is part private detective, part lawyer, part psychologist,” writes Maroney.

But is outsourcing this service worth the cost? Because the public adjuster will also take a cut of the settlement.

Don’t miss Maroney’s fascinating and sobering Q&A with an unnamed public adjuster. Because, especially in disaster-prone parts of the country, knowing how homeowners insurance coverage and claims work is vital to understanding the true value of your real estate assets.

“If you talk to real estate agents, especially in California, they’ll say insurance has never been more important...You can’t get a mortgage on a house without insurance, so if insurance goes away, the real estate market’s done or close to done.” —The Adjuster 🤯
