Did you know there are 18 residential listing agreements (and related forms), seven agency agreements (and related forms), four residential lease agreements (and related forms), and 22 commercial forms? Can you name the four types of agency relationships? Can you explain the agency relationship with potential buyer or seller clients?
If you cannot say yes without hesitation to any of the above questions, consider enrolling in Real Estate Forms Made Simple, an online continuing education course offered by OREA Real Estate College. In this course, learners will:
• review key concepts of agency relationship
• examine the clauses in the listing agreement
• examine the clauses in the buyer representation agreement
The better you understand the forms, the better you will be able to explain them to potential clients. The better the clients understand these forms and what to expect from you and your brokerage, the smoother the transaction will unfold.
