The class examines the process of selling or buying real estate owned by an estate.
What and Why of Probate?

You'll learn why we have a probate process, the steps to a typical informal probate in Colorado, and at what point in the process a property can be sold.

When is it necessary to probate, and when is it not?
Not all properties must go through the probate process. You'll learn the implications and requirements of beneficiary deeds, deeds held in trust, joint tenancy, and tenants in common.
Personal Representative and Contract Authority:
Does your seller have the official authority to act on behalf of the estate? We'll cover the process of personal representative appointment and what needs to take place BEFORE signing contracts.
What special closing requirements are involved?
Whether the property was held as joint tenancy, tenants in common, or with a beneficiary deed, we'll cover the requirements necessary to properly transfer title for each scenario.

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.

This four-hour In-Depth class goes into each section of the Contract and explores the options available to complete the contract. Many pitfalls and trip hazards are present in the Contract and care must be taken when completing the Contract so that you as a Broker and your clients are not exposed to unnecessary risk. A well written Contract also gives your clients the best possible chance of gaining a deal. Gain the knowledge you need about the entire Contract. The CBS1 Contract is extremely detailed and close to 20 pages long. It is a complicated contract and one that the Real Estate Commission expects Brokers to fully understand and be able to advise their clients on its proper preparation. The risks are many if the Contract is not properly prepared. This class will give you the knowledge you need to understand the complete Contract.
