This is an approved NCREC elective.

As an amateur genealogist, I love going down “rabbit holes” and looking for answers. Ever since the Internet arrived in our home around 1999, I have been honing my skills to find great resources for my hobby but also for my professional interests, including real estate brokerage and education.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are robust sources of information, but it can be very challenging to find those resources. Brokers and consumers need to be able to obtain information necessary in order to make appropriate real estate decisions.

The purpose of this course is to identify those resources that are freely available on subjects such as property locational attributes, taxes, environmental and tax matters, lending, material facts, licensing, and more.

In addition, this course will also help brokers improve their navigation skills on the Web and in correctly using key terms such as browser, search engine, and URL.

It is the intent of this course to familiarize real estate licensees with these complex regulations and issues and to provide them with the information to respond appropriately to consumer questions about their compensation. Furthermore, it is the goal of this course to have brokers demonstrate use of these websites through various exercises and assignments.
