2018-2019 REQUIRED MODULE: Risk Management – 3.75 credits

Required to be taken by all real estate licensees between July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019

Today’s complex real estate transactions are full of challenges and expose licensees to a number of high areas of risk. This course is designed to explore agency issues, disclosure requirements, negotiation issues, cancellation concerns, contracts and contingencies and will provide guidance on reducing risk liability exposure.

This 3.75-hour module will also satisfy the broker module training requirement for 2018-2019; in other words, there will be no separate broker module course for 2018-2019.

What’s New 2019? – 3.75 credits

This 3.75-hour class will expose students to the new forms the Minnesota Association of REALTORS ® has introduced for the 2018-2019 season.

As laws change and the need for disclosures becomes more important, forms are updated to reflect the legislation and legal requirements of a seller and buyer of property. By attending this course, licensees will learn the changes to the forms, the meaning behind them and how to explain the covenants/obligations to their consumers.

You Be the Judge – 3.75 credits

By attending this 3.75 hour course, students will be exposed to disputes where the students will have the opportunity to be the interviewer/investigator and decision maker of whether violations have occurred.

Violations of Law (Chapters 82, 515b, 580-582) are explored in a setting where the case study will be presented as a complaint and prepared opening remarks are provided by the complainant and the respondent. The student will be able to ask questions to ascertain whether there was a violation of law or not and then each ‘side’ will make their prepared closing statements.

At the end of each case study, the determination of violation will be shared. The Minnesota Department of Commerce investigates hundreds of complaints each year. Findings result in revocations, suspensions, fines and/or gross misdemeanor charges. By attending this course, students will learn the processes from complaint to resolution and more importantly, the students will learn the common mistakes and how to avoid them in the future.

 How Does This Measure Up? – 3.75 credits

This 3.75-hour class will expose the students to the requirements to measure a property.

Understanding the total finished square footage of a property is vitally important in determining price. By attending this class, students will learn the effective ways to measure unusually shaped properties, determine if a room is ‘conforming’ and how to not misrepresent a listing.
