Determining Whether a Broker Fell Below the Standard of Care Pursuant to Arizona Real Estate Law

One of the first steps in determining liability in any professional negligence claim is establishing the standard of care. This is true in the case of Arizona real estate brokers.

When a lawsuit is brought in Arizona against a real estate broker, the jury or judge will decide whether the broker’s actions and/or omissions fell below the standard of care. This decision is based on the evidence presented at trial, including relevant documents and testimony.

The standard of care itself is usually established by the expert testimony of professionals in the industry who are qualified to render such opinions. Thus, a plaintiff who seeks to recover from an Arizona real estate broker must offer the compelling testimony of some other broker, or other qualified expert, that the broker being sued failed to act reasonably.

The easiest way to understand the standard of care is to ask whether the broker failed to use the skill, prudence and diligence that other Arizona real estate brokers commonly exercise.

Of course, even if it is established that the broker violated the standard of care, the plaintiff must also show that he or she also suffered compensable damages. Such damages are generally equivalent to the amount of money lost by the plaintiff as the result of the broker’s wrongful conduct.

If you’re an Arizona real estate broker facing a claim that you violated the standard of care, or if you believe you have a claim against a broker, you should seek the counsel of an experienced Arizona real estate attorney as soon as possible.

How To Succeed At Online Product Creation The Easy Way

Product creation could be a frightening subject for a lot of Internet marketers to face. Some folks who get in the game with the intention of making a full time income are completely ignorant as to how an online business operates.

You can find experts in the right field for your niche and pay them to write the material while an artist designs the packaging and website or blog. You can outsource the entire product creation part of the project after you conduct the research and testing to ensure profitability.

Sales and marketing strategies should be created while developing the product and learning about the market. Some experienced marketers use pay per click to drive traffic to their offer page; some folks outsource the entire marketing campaign to affiliates through ClickBank or other affiliate programs.

Product creation does not need to be hard, particularly when the merchandise is electronic. E-books, videos, audio and multi-media products sell very well. They are distributed immediately to customers electronically. Once you have a good feel for a niche market, try to service your customers with associated products and upgrades. If you want to earn money online through product creation, you must understand supply and demand. The majority of new online marketers fail miserably because they go after highly competitive markets or forget to research their chosen niche properly.
