Real estate professionals owe allegiance to their client; their fiduciary duties for a client include loyalty, obedience, full disclosure, the use of skill, care and diligence. A real estate professional must avoid being negligent in the performance of their duties. To avoid claims of negligence, real estate professionals must understand the obligations of an agent to a principal and identify actions that could constitute a breach of fiduciary duties and the consequences of such breach. Negligence by an agent constitutes a failure to fulfill the fiduciary duties to the client. To avoid claims of negligence, an agent must fulfill those fiduciary duties to the extent their client can reasonably expect. We have all heard of the golden rule, it is the principle of treating others as one would wish to be treated. If a real estate professional has information that could affect the sale or purchase of property, the agent is bound to disclose that information. Nondisclosure of such information could cause a breach. Proper disclosures are a critical element of practicing real estate. This course covers the various types of agency representations, disclosures, and the most commonly made mistakes. It is a must have for any real estate professional. Add to Cart $30.00 Live Demo

Practicing real estate during a hot market is not business as usual. Ethical, legal and practical issues occur when buyers scramble to “get theirs” while listing agents guard the gate—sometimes using questionable means.
No matter the market dynamics, a licensee’s fiduciary duties do not change.

Listing agents also must put the seller’s interest first, and try to secure for them the best price and most favorable terms.
This course shows licensees how to navigate hot market dynamics ethically and legally, whether representing buyers or sellers.

Tactics that work with motivated, excited sellers don't always translate well when working with short sale sellers and short sale buyers. Toss lender approvals, junior lien holders, and inflexible timelines into the mix, and you end up with a whole new ball game.

This course speaks to your interaction with short sale sellers, and how you can help them through a tough process while diligently advocating on their behalf. We cover how to figure out an appropriate listing price, negotiate with the lender's representative, sort through debt settlement terminology, and carry the deal through to closing.
