Course description |
Understanding the TREC Farm & Ranch Contract (TREC 25-16) is designed to improve a license holder’s competency in Farm & Ranch transactions. This course provides a structured overview of the paragraphs, timelines, disclosures, surveys, title requirements, and obligations within the TREC Farm & Ranch Contract. Participants will learn how to identify when this form is the appropriate one to use, how to navigate property descriptions and reservations, evaluate acreage and price adjustments, analyze leases affecting the property, manage possession and inspection clauses, and understand how repair negotiations are lawfully handled within the boundaries of real estate practice.
This course emphasizes consumer protection, informed representation, and the avoidance of unauthorized practice of law. It provides contract-based guidance to support smoother transactions, reduced liability, and clearer expectations for all parties. Students will leave with increased confidence in reviewing contract terms, communicating risk points to clients, and recognizing when a matter should be escalated to legal counsel.
