Who it's for
- Licensed Florida agents who want ethics they can use on a Tuesday
- New agents who want to know where the lines are before they get near one
- Experienced agents who have seen things, and want a room to talk them through
What you'll leave with
- The early warning signs, and what to say when something feels off
- Clear thinking on brokerage relationships, disclosure and confidentiality
- A simple framework for the gray areas
- Your own written code of conduct, on a card you'll actually keep
What you'll learn
Module by module, lesson by lesson.
Where ethics lives in a real transaction
The standards of professional conduct, taught through Florida transactions you will recognize, not through a list of articles.
- The difference between what is legal, what is required and what is right
- Why good agents get into trouble: speed, assumptions and silence
Spot it before the complaint
Recognizing a problem while it is still a conversation, rather than after it has become a complaint.
- Early warning signs in listings, showings, offers and closings
- What to say, and to whom, when something feels off
Relationships, disclosure and confidentiality
Who you work for, what you owe them, and what you owe everyone else at the table.
- Brokerage relationships and the dual agency prohibition
- Disclosure duties and client confidentiality
- Social media, advertising and the things that feel harmless
Decisions in the gray
A simple decision framework for the scenarios the rulebook doesn't spell out.
- Arguing both sides of a real scenario
- When the answer is 'call your broker'
Protecting your license
How a complaint to DBPR actually moves, and the habits that protect you long before one is filed.
- Records, written communication and the paper trail
- Your personal code of conduct, written down
How it's taught
In the room, it’s a game.
Every activity is tied to what you are learning, and every answer comes with its source.
The escape room
Every clue is an ethics decision. Get it right and the next lock opens. Nobody has ever stayed awake through an ethics lecture; everybody stays awake trying to get out of a room.
“How Not to Get Sued” board
Categories include Disclosures, Social Media Fails, Client Confessions, and “That’s Definitely a Violation.”
Scenario cards and the hot seat
Draw a card, argue both sides, and the room rules: ethical, unethical, or “call your broker.”
Your ethics compass
A pocket card with your own code of conduct, designed in class and kept on your desk.
Format
Three ways to take it.
In a classroom
St. Petersburg, where the escape room lives.
Online
