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

Foundations of Real Estate Finance

Financing is integral to real estate transactions, and the more you know about how buyers qualify, the better you'll be able to help both buyers and sellers in your practice.

Course highlights include:

Roles and regulations of FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC, FHA, and VA
Affordability Worksheet, to assist clients in calculating their maximum affordable purchase price
Homebuyer Do's and Don'ts
Calculating LTV, front-end and back-end ratios, and monthly mortgage payments
Details and qualification requirements for several popular financing options
