Agency
This course explains how agency is created and defines the various agency relationships that exist. Learn how to discern the differences between the real estate licensees’ fiduciary duties to clients and their six general duties to customers.
Fair Housing
This course covers broad issues on fair housing laws. Specifically, the student will learn: what fair housing laws exist, what classes of individuals are covered under these laws, how discrimination is defined in real estate, how can one avoid discriminating practices, and what the consequences are for non-compliance with fair housing laws.
Code of Ethics
This module introduces the student to some of the general ideas and theories that help make up our concept of ethical judgment. This provides a background for a detailed discussion of professional real estate ethics, framed in terms of the NAR ® Code of Ethics. In this module, we will frequently refer to the NAR®’s Code of Ethics as “the Code of Ethics” or “the Code.”
Environmental Hazards
This course is designed to increase your knowledge about expanding environmental issues and laws that have an impact on environmental problems. This course identifies the procedures used to locate toxic waste sites, the responsibilities for clean up and steps that may be taken to minimize future liabilities.
Real Estate Finance
This course provides an introduction to residential real estate finance, including information on how to underwrite FHA, VA, FNMA and FHLMC loans. Understanding this information will help the student assist his or her buyer- and seller-clients from the initial meeting, through the closing proceedings with basic financing and loan-qualification questions.
Property Management
Property management is a special category of real estate work. The term “property management” generally refers to the group of services which an owner hires a professional property manager or management firm to perform. The quality of management directly affects the profitability of the property being managed. A skilled property manager thus protects the owner’s capital investment in real estate and makes sure that the property generates profit.
Closing and Settlement Costs
This module covers the buyer’s and seller’s concerns at closing, the required documents to close a transaction and the rules and regulations of the closing process. In addition, the student will learn ways to help clients through this sometimes complicated process. Finally, the student will learn how to calculate closing expenses and fill out the settlement statement. As the student completes this module, he or she should attempt to fit this information in with the big picture of the real estate business.
