Agency in Tennessee

Description

Instructed by: Bobby Wood Why does someone obtain a real estate license? The answer really has nothing to do with the right to buy or sell real estate. Anyone with enough money or financing can do that! A real estate license is all about representation. The license permits someone to represent another party in the purchase or sale of real estate, to safeguard their interests, to treat them honestly, to serve them with professionalism. Agency at its heart is not a difficult or complex concept. It’s all about representing a consumer conscientiously, doing so with the consumer’s understanding and written agreement, steering clear of any conflicts of interest, and ensuring that—at any time in the transaction—everyone in the transaction knows whom the licensee does and doesn’t represent. This course takes you through common misconceptions about agency law in Tennessee, as well as a section-by-section presentation of the law itself with a brief commentary on each section. 4 Hrs CE
