ProPath Professional Development
This course was designed to meet the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Training
Requirement. Please confirm that your local association, who administers the Code of Ethics
training, will accept this course.
Package Content:
Brokerage Ethics and Legalities in Indiana
Ethics determine reputation. Legalities determine whether you stay in business at all. An understanding of both is essential to your role as a real estate professional.
This course fulfills four hours of brokerage management curriculum in Indiana.
Course highlights include:
- The NAR Code of Ethics how to integrate ethics within a brokerage firm
- How to recognize and avoid unfair business practices
- License law, agency with interest, and disclosure
- How to ensure the legality and enforceability of real estate contracts
- Legislation impacting the brokerage, including antitrust law, RESPA, fair housing and the Americans with Disabilities Act
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.
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
