Every time we conduct an auction, questions arise about process, contract terms, definitions, timelines and even commissions.
With real estate auctions becoming more common, I have developed an easy to follow 2 hour course that explains the basics of representing buyers and sellers in auction scenarios.
Please let me know if you would like to have this course conducted at your office in the first few months of 2011. In order to qualify for CE credit, we will need to advise the Division of Real Estate of the date and time at least 30 days prior.
Please see course details below.
General Presentation Outline
