We walk through the entire process, from contract through closing. We also discuss all of the documentation, including the purchase contract, necessary assignability language, recommended seller disclosures, the assignment agreement, and substitution of parties documentation.

Common Issues to Avoid
Sometimes you can't or don't want to do an assignment. Learn about some of the common pitfalls and mistakes so that you don't make them.

One of the most common goals of a property investor is to build a large portfolio and generate passive income for retirement. While we hear this goal a lot, very few investors actually achieve this goal, and many end up never even buying their first property. This presentation will show you 4 different ways to acquire properties and give you a step-by-step business plan that you can use to purchase and build your portfolio. We’ll walk you through this business plan to show you how to start from scratch and build up a portfolio of 10 properties so you can retire.

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.

- The most dangerous type of debt issued by Metro Districts.
- How Metro Districts impact consumers’ property tax bills.
- What should the State do about Metro Districts?
- What should homebuyers do to protect themselves?

WHY: The Code of Ethics is a measure of professionalism in real estate. It does not describe the lowest common denominator of permissible performance, which many licensing laws do; the Code describes the optimum performance the public has the right to expect and imposes an obligation not only to adhere to high standards of ethical conduct, but also for REALTOR® members to become and remain informed, knowledgeable and competent.

The ethical considerations relating to the new role of transaction broker, and for buyer agents, have mandated changes in the NAR Code of Ethics. Since 1995, the National Association of REALTORS® has continued to revise and expand the Code of Ethics. Every REALTOR® is required to complete minimum Ethics training every four years as mandated by NAR.

Learning Objectives:

- Identify at least two aspirational concepts in the Preamble to the Code of Ethics, describe the concept of general business ethics and identify how the Code of Ethics compares and contrasts with the concept of general business ethics.
- Describe the concepts of at least two of the following Articles of the Code of Ethics: Articles 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, 12, 16 and 17.
- Given interactive learning methods such as case studies, quizzes, role play, group discussion of fact scenarios, identify possible violations of the Code of Ethics, specifically related to at least one of the two Articles selected in Objective #2.
- Briefly describe the professional standards enforcement process of the board or association.

Ever tried to explain to your buyer or seller the legal impact of all the various provisions in the standard buy and sell contract? This class examines each paragraph of the purchase and sale agreement, why the paragraph is in the contract, and what it really means for your buyer and seller. This class is perfect for agents needing a contract refresher, or for experienced agents that want to discover some shorthand ways of explaining the contract provisions to their clients.

In this HOT market listing agents get hammered with multiple offers and demands of buyer brokers. This class covers the most significant challenges of navigating multiple offers and best practices for managing them. If you’ve attended Greg Parham’s Techniques for Better Contract Offers class, this is the flip side for listing brokers.

In this class Greg will cover:

- Appraisal waivers (why the poorly written ones are so dangerous and what makes a good one).
- Whether or not to disclose other offer prices.
- Whether or not to set a contract review (acceptance) date in the MLS remarks– and recommended language if doing that.
- Dealing with inspection waivers (and how NOT to write them).
- How to counter escalation clauses effectively AND reasons why you shouldn’t discourage them in your MLS remarks.
- The proper way to counter an offer with additional provisions to eliminate any confusion on terms or dates.

Be prepared for a potential wave of bankruptcy driven sales. The circumstances that cause some people to file bankruptcy sometimes motivate them to sell real estate and occasionally drive them to buy property (to shelter assets through the homestead exception). As long as brokers have a sense of the jargon and the process, bankruptcy driven sales can be easier than the alternatives, such as short sales.

This class will demystify the bankruptcy process so that you will be better able to:

- Get the listing from the owner or the bankruptcy trustee.
- Efficiently take the deal from offer to close.
- Demystify the process for your buyers.
- Get paid at closing.
