The LREC is requiring all broker and associate broker licensees to complete a separate mandatory course titled, Broker Responsibility – 2017 Broker Mandatory. The 2017 Broker mandatory course is only offered in a live classroom format. LR has worked with national instructor Lynn Madison to develop the 4 hr class offered in partnership with local boards. There is no fee for broker members to take this course and seating will be handled on a first come, first serve basis.
In the wake of several disasters in Louisiana, there is a need for educating members to navigate the short sale and foreclosure transactions.
For many professionals, these are not the "traditional" real estate transaction. Knowing how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales, as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities are not merely good skills to have in today's market - they are critical. And while short sales and foreclosures are not for the faint of heart, agents with proper tools and training can use these specialty areas to build their business for the long term.
The one day Short Sales & Foreclosures course is being offered on Monday, September 11, 2017 in Baton Rouge and taught by Lynn Madison. This course counts toward an elective of the ABR designation, 1 GRI elective credit, and 8 hrs of CE credit.
