Course description |
This course teaches students what a typical volume builder expects to earn after land and construction costs, administrative costs, and taxes. With this knowledge, agents can set expectations with their clients on the best ways to negotiate with a builder. Students are taught to focus their client's home search on finished builder inventory and speculative homes that are started but not yet finished. Students learn that most builders favor negotiating with options versus lowering the cost of the home. Students are taught to identify several builders that meet their client's critical home-buying decisions and then find comparable competing builders that will contrast base pricing, options costs, possible discounts, incentives, and unique construction methods. Students learn to compare and contrast what is available and then prepare a written offer to present to the builder. Students also learn the importance of developing a Broker/Agent Incentive Agreement that covers agent bonuses (gift cards and increased co-op percentage), the process for sharing agent bonuses with clients, CDA reporting, and tax reporting. Finally, students learn that no matter how good they feel their offer is, they must be prepared to walk away if the builder turns down the offer.

Course description |
Originally homeowners were left to their own discretion as far as preparing for home showings. Though they could occasionally rely on an agent for instructions, more often than not real estate agents were just as perplexed at working out the details as the homeowner. Home staging is not a new term, but for many homeowners and real estate agents the concept of professional home staging is shedding new light on how to promote a home in the real estate marketplace.
Our weekly staff meetings are now held every Monday
from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, and during that time we have our
Lobby Doors Closed and Phones Paused for 1 hr.
We will open our doors and start returning all calls at 9:30 am, once the meeting concludes.
Thank you for your understanding and patience, so that
we may provide you will improved services and support year-round!

Under all is the land.. So starts the NAR Code of Ethics. It continues: Realtors®, therefore, are zealous to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with their fellow Realtors® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor. In recognition and appreciation of their obligations to clients, customers, the public, and each other, Realtors® continuously strive to become and remain informed on issues affecting real estate and, as knowledgeable professionals, they willingly share the fruit of their experience and study with others. They identify and take steps, through enforcement of this Code of Ethics and by assisting appropriate regulatory bodies, to eliminate practices which may damage the public or which might discredit or bring dishonor to the real estate profession. Realtors® having direct personal knowledge of conduct that may violate the Code of Ethics involving misappropriation of client or customer funds or property, willful discrimination, or fraud resulting in substantial economic harm, bring such matters to the attention of the appropriate Board or Association of Realtors®

Did you know that as a license holder you have legal requirements and regulations for engaging in the real estate business? Perhaps you also belong to a trade association connected to the real estate business that has a code of conduct and you see that as a requirement for engaging in the business. There is more to your requirements than a trade association expectations. It is every license holder’s responsibility to know and operate under the current
laws applicable to their license. The course covers the requirements Texas law places upon all license holders regarding ethical conduct when facilitating a real estate transaction.
The San Marcos Property tours on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Please add your listings to Matrix. Instructions are below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the tour coordinate: Jeanene Weidman at (970)903-8601. Looking forward to having a great year full of great tours!

Did you know that as a license holder you have TREC ethics standards for engaging in the real estate business? Perhaps you belong to a real estate trade association that has a code of ethics as a requirement for engaging in the business. Texas law and the various trade association code of ethics are similar yet not identical. This class is about your license requirements not, trade association expectations. The course covers the requirements Texas law places upon all license holders regarding ethics and conduct when facilitating a real estate transaction.
