Description

State Requirements

Lead hazards aren’t just a concern for homeowners—they’re also a big deal for real estate professionals. If you're listing a home built before 1978 or guiding buyers through disclosures, understanding the risks of lead exposure isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Federal laws require specific disclosures and safety measures and skipping them can lead to hefty fines and legal trouble.

This course helps you recognize where lead hazards lurk, stay on top of your legal responsibilities, and follow safe practices help protect you, your clients, and your transactions. But beyond compliance, having a strong grasp of lead safety makes you a trusted advisor. When clients see that you take their health and safety seriously, it strengthens your reputation and sets you apart as a knowledgeable, reliable real estate professional. Ultimately, keeping people safe, reducing risk, and staying compliant aren’t just obligations—they’re smart business moves supporting long-term success.

Course highlights include:

Common sources of lead in residential properties
Health risks of lead exposure
Community-based approaches to lead hazard prevention
Review of federal lead disclosure laws
Compliance with lead disclosure laws
Consequences of non-compliance with disclosure requirements
Mitigating lead hazards
Lead-safe work practices for renovations and repairs
EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program
Preventing lead hazards long-term
