In this course, we will take an in-depth look at the laws and regulations that affect the practice of real estate in the state of South Carolina. As a real estate licensee, you have specific legal responsibilities. Title 40 covers “Professions and Occupations,” and Chapter 57 provides specific regulations for real estate brokers, brokers-in-charge, salespersons, and property managers. In Chapter 1, you will learn where the laws governing the real estate profession come from. You will also learn about how the law is written so that you can quickly locate relevant information. We will also cover how to read a statute and the meaning of the specific language used in the statutes. Chapter 2 is an in-depth review of Article 1, which covers general provisions that apply to real estate brokers, salespersons, and property managers. This article explains the purpose and duties of the South Carolina Real Estate Commission. It also covers licensing requirements and the duties of the broker-in-charge and associated licensees. In Chapter 3, we will review Article 3, which covers real estate broker, broker-in-charge, and salespersons. This article covers the procedures for license application and renewal. Specific to brokers, you will learn about the laws that detail brokerage firm duties to clients, agency relationships, and the applicability of common law. We will also discuss the duties that licensees have to customers and clients. In Chapter 4, we will cover Article 5 and the laws that pertain to property managers. Property managers are held to many of the same laws as brokers and licensees when it comes to their duties to consumers and trust accounting. There are, however, different requirements when obtaining a property manager license and a property manager-in-charge license. We will also review the management of residential multiunit rentals in this chapter. Article 7 will be covered in Chapter 5. This is the final article of Chapter 57, and it contains law regarding misconduct and redress. We will review the various grounds that can lead to disciplinary action by the Commission, as well as the proper investigation and disciplinary procedures. We will also cover the process for reinstating a license that has been revoked or suspended.
Sometimes buyers don't know what they want, or they think they know what they want, but nothing is quite right. This course will start with the importance of having buyers pre-approved for financing if they need it. We will provide some techniques to help buyers prioritize the things they want in a home and adjust his or her standard buying strategies to suit the needs of different buyers. While summarizing some important consumer preference studies we will shed light on how real estate licensees can simplify the home-buying process. We know that every buyer is different and this course will drill down the facts to help buyers discover what they truly want in their home.
The main purpose of this course is to help further educate licensed real estate and similar industry professionals about trust accounts that are used in a variety real estate formats. Trust accounts are mandated by various municipal entities, and often guided by specific state legislation. This review will delineate multiple areas where trust account types are required, and explain how they work and function within numerous real estate vocations and corresponding business relationships.

This course is designed to show you how to complete a quality broker price opinion report. We’ll begin by comparing BPOs to appraisals and explain why the BPO has become a favored report in recent years for lenders. This course covers the entire BPO process including how to get registered, the different types of BPOs, the requirements of each and how to complete a BPO form. Proper inspections and data gathering are critical aspects of the BPO. We’ll show you how and where to find this information. Finally, as with all appraisers and agents, there are safety considerations to keep in mind when going to a property. We’ll review precautions you can take to stay safe in the field.
Because appraisals are a crucial part of the transaction, real estate agents should understand the appraisal process. Even though you may prepare a competitive market analysis (CMA) for your clients, CMAs are not as detailed, nor do they serve the same purpose as an appraisal. A home appraisal is an unbiased determination of the fair market value of the home by a professionally-trained third party.
This course provides a review of the sales comparison, cost, and income approaches in appraising real estate.
This course provides continuing education hours for licensed real estate licensees. It is intended to enhance the knowledge and effectiveness of licensees and is approved for 4 hours of continuing education.
The federal government taxes individuals and other entities based on their earnings by means of a progressive income tax. In a progressive tax, the more you earn, the higher your tax rate. The important consideration of a progressive tax is that the taxpayer’s obligation increases as income increases, moving the taxpayer to higher tax brackets. One of the reasons for buying real estate is to get relief from taxes.
The tax benefits of homeownership differ from those available to owners of investment property. The legal reduction of tax liability, otherwise known as a tax shelter, is available to all owners of a primary residence as well as to a taxpayer owning investment property. However, different rules apply to each type of property. The rules must be followed carefully to earn the desired tax shelter.
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.

The seller’s expectation (multiple offers or not) is to get the best price possible in the situation. Buyers expect to have a chance to get their best offer in front of the seller for consideration. Problems handling multiple offers stem from disregarding their expectations. Therefore, dealing with multiple offers involves using practices and procedures that give the seller a chance to get the best price possible in the situation and the buyers the chance to get their best offer in front of the seller.
It is the presentation and agency duties that create most multiple offer problems. When presenting multiple offers to sellers, real estate licensees must follow their state’s licensing rules and regulations and REALTORS® must follow the NAR Code of Ethics. This course describes how listing agents should present multiple offers to their sellers and how buyer’s agents may help buyers make their offers attractive to sellers.
It is intended to enhance the knowledge and effectiveness of real estate licensees and is approved for 2 hours of continuing education.
One of the best ways to promote and market yourself to potential clients is, arguably, by becoming an expert in areas that benefit them. Although as a real estate licensee you should never give financial advice, the better you understand the concepts, processes, challenges, and calculations associated with real estate financing, the better you can assist your clients through this often-frustrating process.
