Course Summary

Conditions and contingencies will be found in almost every real estate purchase and sale agreement. A purchase may be contingent on the buyer receiving a loan to purchase the property, the seller locating and purchasing a replacement property, or even inspection reports that confirm the condition of the property being purchased.

It is important real estate licensees to understand the law relating to them, since real estate sale agreement provisions may not become an affirmative duty until the happening of a contingency or condition. Neglecting these issues in the real estate contract may result in a unhappy buyer or seller.

This course is designed to give a detailed discussion of the items that may be included in a professional home inspection report along with the common characteristics of most inspection reports and inspection procedures.

This course is organized by looking at the structure from the exterior, the interior, the major house systems, and environmental hazards. The course also examines the role of the licensee in the inspection process, the seller, and agent property disclosure requirements and the buyer's obligations with respect to reliance upon a seller's representations as to the condition of the property.

Course Details

This course is divided into five chapters, with a short quiz at the end of each chapter.

A 20-question final exam in multiple-choice format is presented at the end of the course with a 70% passing score. A course completion certificate is available after completing the final exam.

Course Goals

The course emphasizes that the standards of ethical conduct in the practice of real estate are based upon the National Association of Realtors® Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice and upon federal and state laws governing conduct applicable to the practice of real estate. The concept of misrepresentation and all of its implications to the daily practice of real estate is discussed in detail. This course is an article-by-article dissection of the Code of Ethics, organized in three major topic areas:

1. The licensee's ethical conduct with respect to clients and customers
2. The licensee's duty to the public
3. The licensee's duties to fellow Realtors®

A detailed discussion of specific ethical conduct under each of these three general categories will give the licensee an excellent basis upon which to conduct an ethical practice of real estate.
