Appraisals and Home Inspections
A real estate licensee is not an appraiser. But when a property appraises below the agreed upon sales price, it can seriously jeopardize a transaction. Therefore, it's important to understand the factors that influence appraisal value, and the methods of valuation used by appraisers. This course has you covered.
Your course also reviews the importance of the home inspection, roles and responsibilities related to home inspections, and conditions that can indicate structural, system, or property defects.
