30 Websites that Brokers and Consumers Should Know Better
Ever since the Internet arrived in our home around 1999, I have been honing my skills to find great resources for my hobby but also for my professional interests, including real estate brokerage and education.
The Internet and the World Wide Web are robust sources of information, but it can be very challenging to find those resources. Brokers and consumers need to be able to obtain information necessary in order to make appropriate real estate decisions.
We will visit Chat GBT and also those resources that are freely available on subjects such as property locational attributes, taxes, environmental and tax matters, lending, material facts, licensing, and more. See schedule for offerings. (This course is also available on-demand).

ASSUMABLE, WRAPAROUND, AND SUBJECT TO: VINTAGE MORTGAGES MAKE A COMEBACK
We are going to take a look at these three "oldie goldies" from the 1970s and 1980s and learn how these financing techniques could be possible and legal today. We will also review why only a few new mortgages created today can be assumed or wrapped.
We will look at the arithmetic involved in assuming a mortgage, as well as taking mortgages subject to or wrapping them. We won't do any sophisticated math, don't worry.

I receive a lot of email and phone inquiries from brokers asking about how they can legally receive referral fees (or rebates or discounts) when they want to purchase or sell properties in markets outside their jurisdiction.

I receive a lot of email and phone inquiries from brokers asking about how they can legally receive referral fees (or rebates or discounts) when they want to purchase or sell properties in markets outside their jurisdiction.
Brokers also ask, "Can I get referral fees when I return? Do I have to join an MLS or belong to an association of Realtors?" And "What if my buyers or seller sdecide at the last minute that they are going to break their contracts? Am I still owed a commission?"
Brokers also ask me if they are entitled to their commissions if buyers or sellers default on a sales contract and they want to know if they have to pay out-of-state brokers referral fees.
Brokers want quick answers to these pressing questions, but the answers are very nuanced. In order to address these issues, we have to review some basics about which individuals need a license to receive or pay compensation. We will start with a review of what the NC Real Estate Commission (NCREC) requires in terms of licenses. A review of typical compensation clauses in listing, representation and sales agreements is also helpful.
We also will look at NCREC rules regarding receiving compensation and other factors which influence referral fees.
