Contracts, Purchase & Sales Agreements
p>NOTE: This course is approved for 2 Hours Mandatory and 2 Hours Elective Credit
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Clear, mutually-acceptable agreements are an essential component of the legal transference of ownership. In the practice of real estate, contracts are the instruments used to describe and record the agreements surrounding the conveyance of property. Some type of contract is nearly always involved, whether a salesperson is promising to sell a property within a specified period of time, a prospective buyer is placing an offer on a house or a seller is considering an offer on property.
Before entering into a legally binding agreement, real estate professionals must fully understand the contracts that govern their industry. Failure to understand contracts opens a licensee to various kinds of liability and can seriously damage one’s professional reputation. Therefore, it is vital that real estate professionals learn this material so that they can protect themselves against errors, oversights and misunderstandings.
In this module you will learn about the types of general contracts as well as the different kinds of real estate contracts. The module provides the student with an overview of the various types of contracts: bilateral, unilateral, implied, express, executed, executory, valid, void, voidable and unenforceable. Once the student is introduced to the different types of contracts, he or she learns what makes a contract legally enforceable, this being the five components that make a contract valid: mutual assent, legally competent parties, consideration, lawful objective and adherence to a statute of frauds. This module includes the following lessons:
Types of Contracts
Features of a Legally Valid Contract
Contract Fulfillment
Real Estate Contracts
The fifth and concluding lesson in this module presents real-world dilemmas and concrete applications of the information presented in the rest of the course. As the student completes this module, he or she should try to develop a broad picture of environmental issues and how they fit into the larger practice of real estate; the last lesson will help with this project by presenting comprehensive content questions, practice problems and case studies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this module, the student will be able to:
Name and explain the various components of a valid contract.
Identify the differences between a unilateral and bilateral contract.
Describe the various types of contracts.
Recognize the difference between a forbearance and performance agreement.
Outline the features of a contract (and the contracting parties) that make a contract legally binding.

Tax Favorable Real Estate Transactions
Course Description
The objective of this course is to teach the real estate professional how he or she can help clients in buying and selling property on a tax-favorable basis.
In accordance with TREC rules Sections 535.71 and 535.72D, the first two lessons of the course seek to provide a method of real estate purchase using pretax dollars and of growing the estate within a qualified product. We will discuss the application of current tax advantages of using both qualified and non-qualified tax products such as IRA’s, SEP IRA, 401k, Roth IRAs and charitable gift annuities. The use of these applications will provide the real estate professional with the opportunity to create a long standing and profitable relationship with his or her clients, as well as attracting a more sophisticated investor wishing to find an alternative to 1031 exchanges.
The final lessons of this module will explain the many important aspects of Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The course will focus on the benefits of the 1031 exchange for the investor, licensed real estate agent/broker and other parties to the transaction. Upon completion of this course, the student will learn which properties qualify under Section 1031 and how to use the various types of 1031 exchanges to enhance the client’s position in the investment real estate market.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this module the student will:
Be able to identify motivated buying and selling clients.
Know the attributes of qualified and non-qualified products and how they can be of benefit to the sales process.
Be able to identify the restrictive rulings of the 1031 exchange program.
Know how money can be accumulated using pre-tax dollars, accumulate interest on a tax-deferred basis, and create litigation protection.
Know charitable strategies of creating income and tax relief for individuals or families owning highly-appreciated real estate.
Know about Charitable Gift Annuities, and the annuity payments, income benefits and tax advantages associated with them.
Know the parameters that the IRS uses to define a valid like kind exchange.

Estimating the Gross Living Area
Approval Code: M5291
APPROVED FOR:
5 HOURS CE CREDIT
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course covers broad issues and describes the procedures for measuring the total square footage of detached single-family homes and multifamily gross building areas. The methods employed will standardize the calculation process and enable the users of this information to obtain accurate and reproducible measurements for total gross living area of residential properties. The student will learn how to treat the finished areas above and below grade, the finished living area above the garage, and the unfinished areas within the structure. The standard will allow individuals and organizations to agree and cooperate in communicating these square footage quantities to users of this information.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
A standard itself is a voluntary guide for producers and consumers.
A standard allows individuals and organizations that use different terminologies based on different points of view to communicate, cooperate, and calculate quantities on a common basis.
This standard promotes these goals in the hope that square footage calculation can become an item of agreement rather than a point of contention between groups with different interests and concerns.
This standard for the calculation and reporting of above-grade square footage and below-grade square footage in single-family houses is offered for voluntary application.
The standard is not meant to replace or supersede any legal or otherwise required existing area measurement method.
The standard embodies one informative principle that is intended to comment on and illustrate the standard; however, the principle is not considered part of the standard.
This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accredited Standards Committee on Residential Square Footage, Z765. Committee approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval.
