Episode 7: Gabe Walsh, Iowa Court Case

IAR Legal Counsel Gabe Walsh and Jodie McDougal of Dentons Davis Brown Law Firm break down the upcoming Court case and the potential impact. Iowa real estate professionals and attorneys have kept a close eye on a recent slip and fall lawsuit. The outcome could substantially affect thousands of Iowa real estate agents if the court concludes that listing agents can be liable for injuries that occur on the listed property, even when the listing agent is never present at the property and has no knowledge of the condition of the property.
