Buyer Relationships Core Course

Description

This is the current Core Course and is valid for ALL license renewals through March 31, 2025. In this course, participants will explore the four possible relationships that a real estate agent can have with a buyer: transaction broker, seller agent with a buyer customer, buyer agent, and disclosed dual agent. The course will identify when each relationship begins, the agent's responsibilities to buyers, and how those responsibilities differ based on the relationship. The course will also address common issues and misunderstandings related to working with buyers, and will provide guidance on how to understand and manage buyer expectations. Designated brokers are encouraged to consider how their affiliated licensees understand the material covered in this course, as well as their company's policies related to working with buyers. This course has been approved by the Maine Real Estate Commission for 3 credit hours of continuing education.
