Arkansas Real Estate Continuing Education Courses

The 2022 AREC Required Course will focus on buyer agency, dual agency, and other types of agency representation. All relationships are built upon trust, whether business or personal. You must first communicate well, effectively answer your clients’ questions, develop rapport and establish feelings of trust within consumers before they officially hire you to become their agent. 

Directly or indirectly, you and other licensees represent the buyers or tenants and the other side (sellers or landlords) in each transaction whether or not this client never pays you or signs a dual agency agreement. You have a fiduciary duty to treat your own clients and other principal and licensee parties fairly and ethically in each transaction. 

Most often, agency relationships must be confirmed in writing by way of mutually signed disclosures, forms, or contracts. However, some agency relationships can be legally confirmed either before or after the real estate transaction is completed, as you will learn in this course. To best protect all parties involved, it’s usually very wise to confirm the agency relationship in writing so that all parties understand their roles and what’s expected of them.

Learn safety protocols real estate professionals you employ in the field. 

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS: 

• Explore tips for protecting yourself and your clients
• Identify safety tips for getting a client’s home ready to sell
• Learn how to conduct safe showings

Want to take the distress out of working with foreclosures and short sales? This course was designed with that in mind. You’ll learn from experts who have prospered in their real estate careers by working with distressed property transactions. Foreclosed and short sale properties were very prevalent after the housing bubble burst, but their numbers are much lower today. Still, there are homeowners who want to consider short sales as a way to avoid foreclosure, and there are lenders that want to reduce their inventory of foreclosed properties. This real estate market is one way to expand your business while serving the needs of sellers, buyers, and lenders.

Although every effort is made to maintain the accuracy of this course, recent changes in laws and procedures may not yet be reflected in the content.
