The ABR® course, focuses on the key information and skills you need today when working with buyers, so you can be prepared to articulate and demonstrate your value and help buyers understand written buyer representation agreements.
ETHICS
The 2.5 hour code of ethics course emphasizes that the standards of ethical conduct in the practice of real estate are based upon the National Association of Realtors® Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice and upon federal and state laws governing conduct applicable to the practice of real estate. The concept of misrepresentation and all of its implications to the daily practice of real estate is discussed in detail. This course is an article-by-article dissection of the Code of Ethics, organized in three major topic areas:
- The licensee’s ethical conduct with respect to clients and customers
- The licensee’s duty to the public
- The licensee’s duties to fellow Realtors®
A detailed discussion of specific ethical conduct under each of these three general categories will give the licensee an excellent basis upon which to conduct an ethical practice of real estate.
NAR members are required to complete 2.5 hours of Ethics training every three years. This course qualifies towards your good membership standing with NAR. NAR members must now take an ethics course or training equivalency from a local, state, or national REALTOR® association to receive credit towards their Code of Ethics training requirement.
AGENCY AND DISCLOSURES
This course is designed to give the licensee a comprehensive understanding of the many issues regarding disclosure in the practice of real estate in Oregon. The common law fiduciary duty of disclosure is explored along with the trend towards more expansive disclosure standards. Discussed in detail are the Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement, the Lead-based Paint Disclosure Statement, RESPA disclosures, Ballot Measure 37 disclosures and the numerous other disclosures that are required when real property is sold or transfers. Oregon Agency disclosure requirements and procedures are also examined in detail. Upon completion of this course, the licensee will have a comprehensive knowledge and checklist of potential disclosures that should be made in an Oregon real estate transaction.
CONTRACT LAW & WRITING CONTINGENCIES
All licensees involved in the practice of real estate are necessarily involved in the preparation and negotiation of contracts. This advanced Oregon real estate contract law course builds upon the basic principles of contract law. In this advanced contracts course, the licensee will build upon their basic contract law knowledge to include concepts beyond the basics. The licensee will be introduced to the numerous problems which may arise in the formation, interpretation, and performance of a contract which may affect its validity. The licensee will also learn how the concepts of assignment and delegation may apply to a real estate related contract.
Conditions and contingencies are involved in most real estate transactions. In the discussion of conditions and contingencies the licensee will be introduced to how conditions impact most contracts. The licensee will also learn how to draft contingencies and their implications in the typical real estate transaction.
Finally, the licensee will be introduced to the concept of breach of contact and will learn the resulting consequences of a contract breach along with the many possible remedies available to the injured party. The licensee will also be introduced to the concept of tort liability as it applies to the breach of contracts and its impact on potential litigation in which a licensee may become involved.
LARRC
All real estate licensees must take the required 3 hour Law & Rule Required Course (LARRC) within each two-year renewal period. This 2024-2025 law and rule required course is designed to inform Oregon licensees of new law changes relating to real estate as passed by the Oregon Legislature. The Oregon Real Estate Agency requires that all licensees take a Law And Rule Required Course (LARRC) as part of their 30 hours of continuing education credit.
RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS
This course is designed to give a detailed discussion of the items that may be included in a professional home inspection report along with the common characteristics of most inspection reports and inspection procedures. This residential property inspection course is organized by looking at the structure from the exterior, the interior, the major house systems, and environmental hazards. The course also examines the role of the licensee in the inspection process, the seller, and agent property disclosure requirements and the buyer’s obligations with respect to reliance upon a seller’s representations as to the condition of the property.
RISK MANAGEMENT
This course is designed to demonstrate that risk management should be viewed as a positive strategy that will provide for increased profits. Any risk that develops into a problem will necessarily cost money to solve. The course introduces the student to the concept of risk and potential consequences that risk presents if not managed properly. The student is introduced to the three main areas of legal liability: contract, tort, and violation of law. Then the specific major areas of risk are discussed in detail. These risks are grouped for discussion purposes under agency, fair housing, environmental issues and anti-trust law. The course also provides the student with a strategy, which if followed, will assist the licensee in minimizing risk and thereby increasing profit.
FAIR HOUSING
This course is designed to give a historical overview of the Federal Fair Housing Laws and an in-depth discussion of the individual laws and their application to the practice of real estate. The course emphasizes anti-discriminatory conduct which all licensees should practice. The course concludes by discussing the voluntary affirmative action marketing program (VAMA) and why promoting fair housing laws is a positive force at work in this state and throughout the nation.
TITLE & ESCROW
The escrow portion of this course discusses escrow from opening to closing, how to compose proper escrow instructions, how to protect your brokerage fee, the final closing statement, and all other aspects of escrow. The title insurance portion discusses how to read the title report, easements and encumbrances, the real estate agent’s responsibility with respect to the title report, ALTA policies, deed vesting, and a host of other issues relevant to title insurance.
