Why 2025 Wisconsin Act 69 Is a Win for Real Estate Professionals

This dynamic 50-minute session, led by WRA Legal Hotline Attorney Jennifer Lindsley, explores the key provisions of 2025 Wisconsin Act 69 and why this important legislation benefits real estate professionals across Wisconsin.  Act 69 strengthens the profession by promoting clarity, consistency and consumer confidence — all while reinforcing the value REALTORS® bring to every transaction.
