Real Estate Practice

Catalog description

In this course, students will be introduced to the standard forms used in the real estate industry and will learn techniques necessary to close a residential real estate transaction. Students will develop skills in partial preparation for the state examination for a California Department of Real Estate (DRE) license, with emphasis placed on advertising, listings, finance, appraisal, escrow and the tax aspects of real property ownership. Note: The California DRE requires completion of this course prior to taking the California Real Estate Salesperson Examination and has approved this course for credit for the DRE broker's license requirement. This course is also approved by the California Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA) for credit hours towards the appraisal license.
