State Requirements

Navigating real estate can be confusing and overwhelming for customers and clients. Licensees can help clients understand the process and available services by providing valuable information and support. As a licensee, they can provide reliable and knowledgeable resources to those needing assistance. Counseling consumers involves communicating and building a solid rapport with clients, understanding their needs and preferences, and providing accurate information and advice. An effective licensee provides clients with sound advice and guidance at every transaction stage while keeping their best interests as a top priority.

Ultimately, a licensee’s success depends on building trust and establishing strong client relationships. By providing expert guidance and assistance throughout the real estate process, licensees can help clients achieve their real estate goals.

This two-hour mandatory course fulfills Alaska’s 2024-2026 DCE requirement for the topic of Counseling Consumers.

Course highlights include:

  • Client vs. customer services review
  • Best practices with customers and clients
  • Credit and housing counseling
  • Counseling clients after an unsuccessful negotiation
  • Property disclosure review
  • Required disclosures
  • Residential Real Property Transfer Disclosure Statement
  • Purpose of the home inspection
