REALTORS® are exposed to license law and the Code of Ethics when they take the pre-license class. Often along the way, this information is forgotten and can put the REALTOR® and their brokerages in tremendous jeopardy. Risk Management is designed to be an in-depth course study of the most critical aspects of their everyday responsibilities. This course includes a detailed breakdown of the structure of the Code of and provides knowledge of real estate law and how it applies to your practice to reduce your liability. In addition, this course will provide an understanding of situations that can complicate a transaction such as procuring cause, arbitration, professional standards, BRRETA, diversity, fair housing, mortgage fraud, and antitrust. The importance of these items cannot be understated and can be the difference between maintaining status as a REALTOR® and losing their license. This course can be combined with the GRI Core Course “Skill Building” to provide Sales Post-License credit. This course meets the NAR code of ethics renewal requirement.
