Ask any residential REALTOR^® and they’ll tell you there’s no one size fits all approach to meeting the needs of clients. Today’s agents fill a variety of roles, needing to know not just the neighborhood, but also local economic conditions.

Join us for this trek into the RPR^® Commercial platform, designed specifically to address the interests of residential REALTORS^®.

We will look at three common scenarios:

• A client is moving to town and wants you to find them a commercial property and then a nearby home.
• A client is looking for a small residential investment property with a specific tenant segment in mind.
• A client has a trailing spouse and they are asking you about potential employment opportunities.

Even if you can’t make it, sign up anyway and get the recording from RPR.

This course covers today's hottest topic in real estate, the Dodd-Frank Act!  Together we will review how the Dodd-Frank Act is changing the face of real estate, including the powers of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a review of real cases, some of the fines the CFPB has handed down and current investigations against real estate licensees.  Many of the regulatory changes that will impact the real estate transaction including the Ability to Repay Act, the new Valuations rules and the impact on the property appraisal, the new Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure forms.  Maybe you have taken a TRID class but there is so much more.  Join us for the whole story!  Real estate will never be the same.   

We have gone paperless. Print/download the handout and bring to class.

DESCRIPTION

Who is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and what do they do? They have only been around a handful of years, but have turned the financial industry upside down. It's all about consumerism, governmental transparency and regulatory reform. By the time this class is over you will have a full understanding of the power of the CFPB.
