| 3 | Commercial | 69171 | Commercial Leasing Made Easy (6 CE hours) | The purpose of this class is to concentrate on the leasing aspect of commercial real estate. This is a subset of commercial real estate that stands alone because of all the unique terms and concepts associated with it. There are many ways to structure a lease and a host of common clauses, terms, and conditions in a lease that when negotiated can result in favorable or less favorable conditions for your client. In this class, you will learn all those distinctive terms, how to determine a Tenants’ needs and how to collect information on and to evaluate potential sites. You will learn how to calculate rent and commissions and to distinguish between the different types of lease representation agreements. In addition, we will discuss how to review a lease to ensure it is Tenant- and property-specific. Finally, we will review the most common terms and conditions incorporated into most leases and you will learn which of those clauses, when negotiated, will result in the most favorable final terms and conditions for your client but still allow for a satisfactory arrangement between Tenant and Landlord. |

| 3 | Commercial | 69169 | Development of Land - Unearthed (6 CE hours) | “Under all is the land” is the opening code of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. The concept applies to all real estate transactions. Quite often, REALTORS® that are not conducting transactions that involve development on a regular basis don’t realize how many different facets of the industry they need to be knowledgeable about before diving in to assist a client. The purpose of this class is to “unearth” the development process for vacant land or land with structures undergoing redevelopment; discuss factors that can affect development, including land and its uses, laws that regulate land use; evaluation of site conditions; and determination of the feasibility of a proposed new project. Knowledge of these things will allow you to assist your customer to successfully navigate land being redeveloped or a vacant land transaction, whether the purchase is for customers looking for land on which to build their dream home or for a client wanting to develop a whole new subdivision or retail establishment. |

| 10 | Skill, Business & Professional Development | 74663 | Is Your House Making You Sick-A Guide to Environmental Hazards In a Home & What Has to be Disclosed | This course covers threats in our homes posed by naturally occurring health hazards such as mold and radon; man-made materials and components such as asbestos and lead-based paint; as well as other indoor air quality pollutants, including combustion pollutants, environmental tobacco smoke, and volatile organic compounds. Learn the sources of these toxins, their effect on our health, what laws provide us with protection from them, and what disclosures are required for them in real estate transactions. You will also learn how to guide you customers in the identification of potentially toxic issues in their homes, in how to reduce exposure, how to test for their presence and extent, and how to remediate the problems so that there are no remaining issues that could affect a successful sale and closing. By learning to identify potential air quality issues in homes and to properly disclose them during a real estate transaction real estate agents will be able to better protect buyers and sellers from liability that might arise from lack of disclosure of issues in a home that could materially affect the value of the home. Real estate professionals will also be able to educate their customers on how to resolve their issues prior to them derailing a sale of a house. |

| 10 | Skill, Business & Professional Development | 67245 | Making Green by Selling "Green" | Learn to distinguish between concepts such as “green,” eco-friendly, energy-efficiency, and sustainability so you can teach your customers how they can live an “eco-conscious” lifestyle within any budget. This course will provide you with “green renovation options” such as xeriscaping, Energy Star appliances, and solar products. We will go over practical things anyone can do to make their homes more energy-efficient and sustainable; things that are inexpensive to implement but could result in significant savings. Once you, as a REALTOR®, know how to recognize these features in a home (or ask the right questions to highlight energy-efficient aspects of a house), you can use that information as a marketing tool for a seller and as selling points for a buyer, making you a more specialized, effective and successful REALTOR®.

| 10 | Skill, Business & Professional Development | 71823 | Residential Construction from the Ground Up | If you want more inventory or a way to tap into a whole different sector in real estate, working with new home builders or with customers wanting to purchase lots and build their own homes, residential construction is the way to go. However, to successfully work in this market you must first have a general knowledge of new residential construction.
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of residential construction, “from the ground up,” to familiarize you with general construction procedures, including terminology, building codes, structural components and the flow of construction from foundation to finishing. |

| 10 | Skill, Business & Professional Development | 67781 | The Art of Networking | Most REALTORS® agree that networking is critical to long-term success in real estate. Despite consumers’ assumptions that REALTORS® are outgoing and networking comes naturally, in fact, many REALTORS® dread networking. They perceive it as an awkward, forced, and unnatural exchange – which only leads to sweaty palms, uncomfortable silences, and unproductive conversations. So, how do you leave those shaky knees behind and become better at networking? First, you attend this program! You’ll leave with solid strategies and techniques (that we’ll practice in class) that will allow you to (1) feel more comfortable in networking settings, (2) make a positive impression, and (3) generate new contacts.
