Ethics & Social Media

Good realtors are used to thinking about the Code of Ethics.

Beyond the ethical guidance it provides, it is also a professional obligation. But what about the application of the Code of Ethics as it relates to social media? While the Code is typically very clear, it's application to social media can be ambiguous.

Between “private” accounts, character limits, and inexperience applying the code to online behavior, it is easy to forget the Code of Ethics or overlook some of its provisions. This could result in an ethics hearing or even a lawsuit. 

This course provides students with the understanding of ethics and social media when it comes to real estate. It provides an overview of what to do and not to do to avoid finding yourself in trouble over an easily preventable situation.

How to Analyze an Appraisal

  • BHHS Colorado Real Estate - Denver (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

An appraisal is an opinion of value.

For estate planning, financial planning, or sale price decisions, individuals or a trusted advisor usually orders an appraisal. When an appraisal is used to obtain an opinion of value of a property for loan purposes, federal regulation requires the lender or its agent to place an appraisal order. The lender or its agent contacts a state licensed or certified appraiser and identifies the property to be appraised and the intended use of the appraisal. 

This course will provide real estate brokers with the tools to help them understand how to read and understand an appraisal. Upon completion of this course participants will understand the definition of a credible appraisal, the appraisal process, elements of a credible appraisal, the importance of appraiser independence, and how to proceed if you feel that a correction needs to be made to an appraisal report.

How to Adjust Like an Appraiser

How to Adjust Like an Appraiser

  • BHHS Colorado Real Estate - Denver (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Realtors understand that one of the most common issues with property appraisals is the amount and type of appraisal adjustments.

Sometimes, borrowers, agents, and lenders question the validity of reports, asking questions regarding the value of adjustments. Contrary to popular belief, appraisal-related adjustments are not merely the appraiser's guesses. Also, note that they are not calculated figures. Appraisers don't use them to mathematically force a preconceived or predetermined adjusted market value estimate to support a value conclusion for the relevant property.

Appraisal adjustments are important, and if an appraiser fails to support their adjustments, then the appraisal results will be subject to questions, leading to many possible adverse outcomes.

This course will provide real estate brokers with the understanding of how appraisers come up with adjustment rates. This course provides the necessary knowledge to advise broker associates on how to understand how an appraiser begins to develop adjustment rates for differences between properties.
