For the first time in the 7-8 years that I've been taking CE, I did not spend most of my time either bored or looking at the clock to see when the course would end!" --Mike Field

"Thank you so much for the excellent BIC update class. As much as we may moan and groan about having to take this every year; I do find that I always walk away with some great information. This year was no exception. You managed to 'wow' us with your knowledge and expertise once again. I loved the creative ideas you presented for owner financing.... I look forward to finding a time to take a few more of the wonderful classes that you teach. It is always such a pleasure." --Jessica Bryan, Broker/EcoBroker, Green Consultant.

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).
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.
Brokers also ask, "Can I get referral fees when I return? Do I have to join an MLS or belong to an association of
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.
