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. A buyer's agent still has the duty to put client needs first, and help buyers obtain properties meeting their needs for the lowest price possible. 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.

Course highlights include:

• An overview of hot market dynamics, including low inventory, cash buyers, multiple offers, appraisal and lending issues
• How to stay ethical, legal and avoid violating MLS rules when taking a pocket listing
• A discussion of private listing groups and their potential risks for fair housing and anti-trust violations
• Buyer strategies for writing winning offers—and guerilla tactics to avoid
• Escalator clauses, what they are and how to respond to them
• Ways to assist sellers in evaluating offers based not only on price and terms but also on buyer strength
• Strategies for responding to multiple offers
• Options for buyers and sellers when properties do not appraise

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.

In a short sale transaction, the motivation for each party is different than the standard transaction, and as the professional in the scene, you need to adjust accordingly. 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. We also look at the process from a buyer's agent perspective. Additional cautions, considerations, and fraud prevention tactics are required when advocating on behalf of these deal-seeking buyers.
