Preparing & Navigating a Listing Contract

 Listing Contracts are an important part of the real estate business.  They effectively communicate who is responsible to do what, give a time period for those items to be performed, and guarantee the listing broker to be paid for these services.  Although it’s not required to be in writing that you will perform some of these services, to assure the broker will be paid for these services means you need a written agreement for your compensation. In this course, we will discuss the various types of listing contracts, the difference between them, and some other options to guarantee compensation while working to effectuate a sale of a property.

Effective Risk Reduction

By its very definition, risk management assumes there is a risk or risks to be managed. In virtually every business endeavor, risk is a byproduct of existence. In the real estate profession, risk exists on several fronts. In fact, we don't even have to have a transaction in order to create risk. This course will speak to and help you avoid the most common risks associated with the practice of Real Estate sales and management. In this interactive program, we'll look and case studies that address the very issues REALTORS® face on a daily basis.
