Notice of Effective Date for New Rules-Real Estate
The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (“Commission”) approved the proposed rules at the rulemaking hearing conducted on December 11, 2024. The rules were filed with the Secretary of State on June 25, 2025, and will become effective September 23, 2025.

The proposed rules amend certain general licensing, rules of conduct, and vacation lodging service requirements resulting from the Department’s review as required by the General Assembly’s enactment of Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-5-213. Most of the rule amendments are clerical and do not impose any additional licensure standards. Specifically, the rule amendments simplify civil penalty schedules, lower the barrier of entry for certain individuals with criminal convictions, clarify the errors and omissions insurance and gifts and prizes reporting requirements, and repeal an outdated rule related to telephone answering services. A full copy of these rules can be viewed online at:

Email is Not Dead! You're Just Not Using It Right

We’ve all heard the whispers: “Email is dead.” But let us set the record straight. Email is alive, well, and still one of the most proactive tools in your marketing toolbox. If your email campaigns are falling flat, it’s not the medium, it’s the message, visuals (and maybe the strategy, too).

In this webinar, we’ll show you how to bring your email list back to life with the right mix of automation, personalization, and storytelling. Whether you’re nurturing leads or staying top-of-mind with current clients, we’ll walk you through what works and what’s just noise in the inbox.

What We’ll Cover:
- The real stats: Why email still outperforms social and ads
- How to write and design emails people actually want to open
- Automations that save time and increase sales
- What your welcome series should include
- Easy ways to re-engage a stale list
