Colorado Real Estate
Continuing Education Course Outline

To be successful in the real estate business world, risks are taken daily. Sales people tend to be risk takers by nature. Our industry has evolved from a "buyer beware" philosophy to "broker beware." Courts are upholding decisions that assign more and more liability to the broker for the problems buyers and sellers experience in their real estate transaction. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that brokers employ all their skills, care, and diligence in the conducting of their business.

Brokers should understand that no course substitutes for attorney advice. Each legal situation is different, and the advice of an attorney will guide the broker through the maze of small, but important legal considerations. This course is intended to make you think and understand the various complex issues in today's real estate business.
