I have written many times about Metro Districts and their impact on housing affordability and the danger they may pose to homeowners in the years and decades to come. But, many of you told me that wasn’t enough and that I should create and teach a class on Metro Districts. My new class is done and I have titled it “How to Protect Your Clients from Metro Districts."

Here is what you will learn:

- What are Metro Districts and why we have them in Colorado?

- What should homebuyers do to protect themselves?
- The website you and your clients NEED to review before purchasing a home.

We will examine some of the most frequent types of contract disputes and offer guidance on how to avoid them in the first place. We will also cover the process to recover earnest money after a contract breach.

Selling with seller finance can involve a myriad of structures, from a straight owner carry loan, to wrap deeds of trust, contract for deed, and lease options. This class will focus on the advanced structures of "subject to" wraps, and contract for deed.

This is an advanced course designed for the experienced broker to teach the skills necessary to reduce risk in the site location process and to zero in on the best location for his or her retail client. This course is written from the perspective of a former Corporate Real Estate Director who worked from a custom Site Location Model for each of the brands, and how he converted those models into a simple system that can be customized for any retail client. The course will teach the skills used by Real Estate Directors for National Franchise Brands.

Clients always ask “how’s the market?” This class gives you specific talking points to sound like an expert. We also discuss how you can use the information for listing presentations, and for buyers that aren’t sure if “now is the time to trade up” or if they should wait until later. The goal is to present the information in a format so you can put it to use immediately – and close more deals. We’ll spend some time at the end on “where is the marketing going?” so you can discuss that as well.

This class comes with 1 free CE Credit.
