Document Diligence: Safeguarding Your Transactions

A veteran broker once said, "No one ever failed in this business because of the paperwork." It's true: Real estate is a relationship-based business. However, to protect consumers and yourself, knowing how to manage the paperwork--whether it's cotton bond and ink or bits and bytes--is integral to your role. Maintaining detailed and organized records, even for transactions that don't close, not only satisfies regulatory requirements, it also protects your license. It proves you did what you were supposed to do when you were supposed to do it.

We can't do anything about paper cuts, but if you're ready to become more comfortable selecting and using documents to ensure on-time, accurate, and litigation-free real estate transactions, let's do this.

Course highlights include:

Typical transaction documents
Standard clauses, addenda, and contingencies
How to practice within the scope of your license (but avoid unauthorized practice of law)
How to field and manage multiple offers
Managing signatures, notarizations, and identification
Best practices in transaction management
Best practices in document retention
Keeping documents secure, both hard copy and digital
Wire fraud prevention

Assistance Animals and Fair Housing

Must a property manager accept a tenant's emotional support animal, and under what conditions? What proof can a property manager or landlord require of a tenant who claims a need for an emotional support animal? What about homeowners associations—must accommodation be made in these communities?

This course explores the issues and options for landlords and property managers surrounding assistance animals, helping real estate professionals who represent them to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to housing in compliance with the law.

Course highlights include:

The evolving fair housing law
How the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act intersect--and don't
Types of assistance animals
How to handle reasonable requests for accommodation
Case studies and legal trends
Examples and scenarios to help apply course content to real life

Note: This course does not meet NAR Fair Housing requirements.
