This course will review investor goals and explore methods to uncover the investor goals of your clients, as well as review different income sources for investor properties to help licensees educate investor clients on what properties will fit different goals.

Analyzing the financial aspect of any investment property is essential, and this course will review basic formulas used to arrive at market price for sale or rent, projected or actual cash flow, as well as review return on investment and cash-on-cash return, all of which are essential facts for an investor to be armed with in order to make the best decision on property needs.

Lastly, we will review some risk management factors in regard to working with investor clients to help protect everyone involved from legal issues arising as a result from an investment property transaction.

Licensees are out there on the front lines fielding tough questions about escalating prices, the impact global unrest has on supply, and what the future holds for the oil-heated homeowner.

Real talk, up-to-date conversational discussion on what measures the oil heat industry already has in place to bring prices back down to sustainable low-normal levels will be covered, and students will walk away from this course seeing oil heat in a brand-new light, all while being better able to communicate how “yesterday’s” oil is transitioning into the revolutionary renewable fuel of the future.

Armed with this knowledge, licensee’s will be better able to tackle the issue of listing and selling an oil-heated property.

Tough markets require a new skill set for agents in order to ensure ability to continue high-level client service. Whether the market is a “buyers market,” “sellers market,” or “dry market,” clients need to be able to depend on their agent to have skills to navigate as many foreseeable markets that can arise. The challenges that are presented during the times of a tough market are greatly different than those of a booming market, and clients rely on their agents to know the challenges (and be able to surmount them!).

The General Module provides licensees with a review of duties, zoning issues, real estate environmental concerns, client representation and agency, the agreement of sale and related addenda, clauses, title reports and closing costs. Most importantly, it makes it all easily understood by licensees, who can make it easily understood to others.

The Residential Module offers agents ways to handle almost anything they're likely to encounter in residential sales. It delves into the uniform construction code and zoning, land development, real estate environmental issues, home inspections and home warranties, mortgage information, fair housing, and agreements of sale.

This continuing education course presents definitions, characteristics, and legal issues that pertain to homes that are distressed, blighted, or stigmatized.

The course will review procedures of short sales and foreclosures, looking at legalities, as well as focusing on how licensees can best represent their clients who are facing foreclosure or considering a short sale. We will then explore the history of blight within society to better understand the socioeconomic factors that play into the concept of blight removal and urban renewal. Act 135 of 2008 gave Pennsylvania the ability to take conservatorship of property that is blighted, and we will look at the aspects of that law, discussing the benefits and negatives of the act.

Some of the stigmatized issues we will look at are homes that have been affected by events or location at or near the property. Stigma is not legal bound to be disclosed in Pennsylvania, so these can present a tough situation for licensees when working with clients: what do we need to disclose, what can we not disclose, and how can we best serve our clients when their property is affected by these factors?

For all of the topics, this course will look at concerns surrounding environmental factors, legal factors, disclosure concerns, and marketing strategies to benefit clients while still protecting consumers.

These properties often come with a unique set of concerns, but armed with the right tools, real estate professionals can work with clients and consumers to address blighted, distressed, and stigmatized properties in appropriate, legal, and beneficial ways.

As technology evolves, so too do clients, customers, and the nature of the real estate business. Real estate licensees must be more than just aware of advances in technology that affect client servicing and customer outcomes. They must work to increase digital proficiency and stay vigilant of changing mediums, all while staying legally compliant and respecting fiduciary duties.

The introduction of artificial intelligence brings with it new ways to navigate marketing on behalf of consumers. Ensuring licensees are up-to-date on these trends means the ability to best utilize the world of digital marketing on behalf of clients. Social media is constantly in a pendulum of popularity, and proficiency isn’t about the licensee – it’s about the consumers. Knowing the laws, complying with disclosures, and staying beneficial to not only your clients, but all consumers of real estate services.

Real estate licensees are greeted with many challenges but the one that is not addressed often is the inventory of home styles and options that are present in the marketplace. Clients and customers expect that agents to impart knowledge regarding the inventory of homes in the marketplace.

Each style has its own benefits and drawbacks, and what is a benefit to one consumer might be a drawback to another. By obtaining the knowledge about home inventory styles and features, licensees can give consult to the consumer, allowing the consumer to make a better-informed decision.

Before beginning to understand the implications of all of these choices and options an agent should learn to identify each home by style and type. They can begin to identify inventory that match with the consumer’s wants and needs. For most licensees this is all learned by experience. This course is designed to introduce licensees to the many options and labels, choices, and possibilities in the marketplace. This knowledge will make them better fiduciaries to clients.

After being exposed to housing styles and choices, agents will be able to accelerate their understanding of the choices in the marketplace, trends and opportunities available to their customers and clients.

• One of two required seven hour modules for PA real estate licensees completing continuing education for the first time
• Veteran licensees are eligible to take this class for elective credit.

The purpose of this course is to provide licensed standard salespersons with a high level of knowledge and understanding regarding key areas of real estate practice. Content areas introduced in pre-license coursework will be further developed, amplified and reinforced.

• Explain (without practicing law) key elements and essentials of various contracts and other documents utilized by licensees in various transactions.
• Recognize and be familiar with current legal issues affecting real estate practice (environmental, land use, etc.).

ABR designees learn how to win more clients by offering their specialized skills to represent buyers. They also get access to several tools to improve their productivity, automate or reduce their workload, and handle more buyer clients.

Goals for the ABR course are to 1) Prepare real estate professionals to thoroughly represent buyer-clients in real estate transactions and provide the quality of service and degree of fidelity to buyers that sellers have customarily enjoyed; 2) Offer ideas and methods for building a buyer-representation business; and 3) Develop a self-customized tool for conducting a buyer counseling session.

During the 2018-2020 renewal cycle, when all licensees are required to take a 3-1/2-hour Commission-mandated course, the ABR course will yield 10-1/2 hours of continuing education.
