Hot Topics in Real Estate

Flood zones, property inspections, and consumer privacy and data security represent three distinct yet urgent topics in real estate. Hot Topics in Real Estate takes a closer look at each of these with an emphasis on supporting clients and customers. The real estate professional’s job is to act within the scope of his or her responsibility to make sure everything goes right.

Current Issues and Trends in Real Estate

Sexual harassment. The impact of the new tax laws. The affordable housing crisis. Discrimination claims over emotional support animals. You can't tune into the news without hearing about one or more of these hot topics, and each has implications for the practice of real estate.

Sex and Real Estate: Sexual Harassment, Sexual Discrimination, and Fair Housing

Sexual harassment and discrimination in real estate isn’t just for landlords anymore—not that it ever was. The real estate industry is no exception, and some areas leave clients and licensees highly vulnerable.

The Code of Ethics in Action: Real-Life Applications

Affordable Housing: Solutions for Homes and Financing

Affordable housing, or lack thereof, has been a discussion topic in the media, advocacy groups, and the political arena for years, and lately the chatter has become louder and more urgent. As the leader of one housing coalition stated, “It’s not a housing crisis. It’s a housing catastrophe.”

Taxes and Real Estate: What You Need to Know

Welcome to Taxes and Real Estate: What You Need to Know. While it’s not your job to act as a tax advisor to clients and customers, having a strong understanding of property tax-related issues likely to come up during the transaction process helps you provide a better quality of service.

Assistance Animals And Fair Housing

Emotional support animals, service animals, and reasonable accommodation. How does the concept of reasonable accommodation play out in property management? This is a topic that sparks questions around what the laws are and how and when they apply in cases of individuals with assistance animals.

Technology Tools, Trends, and Risk Management

Technology is a tool. Used wisely, it can free up time usually spent on mundane tasks to allow licensees to work at a higher (and higher touch) level of client service. Used poorly, it can alienate clients, and even put them—and the licensee’s reputation—at risk.

Marijuana in Real Estate

Marijuana: not a topic you might have ever thought you’d see in connection with your professional real estate career. The issue has spread into day-to-day real estate activities for many professionals involved in real estate, whether working with buyers, sellers, tenants, or landlords.

Personal Safety

While the newsprint is still wet (and the internet still on fire) with these shocking stories, everyone vows to do better, and the topic of safety is pushed to the front of training schedules—but then complacency soon sets in once again.

Did You Serve?

With more than 20 million veterans living in the United States today, real estate professionals can have a powerful and profound impact for those who served. Better serving our nation’s Veterans and military families purchase a home starts with one simple question.
