MICHIGAN Real Estate CE
Registered Provider with the State of Michigan
MICHIGAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The standard license cycle is three years. All current real estate licenses will expire 10/31/2012. All licensees require some continuing education every year.
One of the easiest ways to remember is to just continue to complete 6 clock hours of CE every year. Of those 6 hours, 2 must include law and rules updates.
There no longer is a "waiver" of CE for the first year the license is issued.
The CE requirements are pro-rated depending upon which year of the three-year cycle the license is issued, but ALL licensees require CE to renew.
*Important Note: Licenses are not issued for a term of less than 4 months (120 days). Therefore, each July in the first year of a three-year cycle, the next expiration date is used. For example, we issued 10/31/2012 expiration licenses beginning July of 2009.
The “every year” CE mandate therefore could mean that someone’s first “year” might be as long as 16 months if it was issued in July-August-September-October of that first year.
The second year is 11/1/2010 to 10/31/2011 and third year is 11/1/2011 to 10/31/2012 (license expiration).
To recap, each year, licensees must complete a minimum two clock hours of “law” related real estate continuing education. When renewing, and before expiration, each licensee must accumulate a total number of hours applicable to that licensee’s issue date.
For example,
• The license was issued in the first year of the three year cycle, 18 hours are required
• Issued in the second year, 12 hours
• And issued in the third year, 6 hours are required, respectively.
CE course numbers for the current three-year license cycle (2009-2012) are prefaced with a L (e.g., L500, L297, L700) and are given separate course numbers if the hours can be counted toward the law and rules mandatory requirement.
Relicensure applicants may use L courses toward getting relicensed but those courses are then USED and CANNOT count toward the renewal requirements in October 2012.
All licensees can track CE hours that are posted to their i.d. number by accessing this http://www.cis.state.mi.us/bcsc/coned/research.htm. Enter the 10-digit i.d. number and click on it to see the listing of courses credited. It is important to keep continuing education completion certificates to refer to when signing up for new classes. This way, you can ensure that you do not take the same course twice (as credit will be given only once). If a reporting error occurs, you will be able to prove attendance.
Lists of CE Sponsors who are course providers are available and can be viewed in a number of formats (e.g., on-line courses only, all providers, etc.).
Licenses EXPIRE 10-31-12 and to continue uninterrupted practice, sufficient CE must be attained by that date. There is a 60-day late renewal period, however the license is considered expired. Practice must CEASE until the renewal requirements are met and the renewed license is issued and received.
Failure to meet the CE requirements by 12-30-12 will lapse the license. If relicensure is desired, a relicensure application and fee are required.
Renewal fees are earned upon receipt and are non-refundable. If you are not going to meet the requirements for renewal, do not pay your renewal fee. You can apply for relicensure at a date you can meet the requirements.

In addition, the course covers the regulatory bodies and professional organizations associated with home inspection.

Clear, mutually-acceptable agreements are an essential component of the legal transference of ownership. In the practice of real estate, contracts are the instruments used to describe and record the agreements surrounding the conveyance of property. Some type of contract is nearly always involved, whether a salesperson is promising to sell a property within a specified period of time, a prospective buyer is placing an offer on a house or a seller is considering an offer on property.
Before entering into a legally binding agreement, real estate professionals must fully understand the contracts that govern their industry. Failure to understand contracts opens a licensee to various kinds of liability and can seriously damage one’s professional reputation. Therefore, it is vital that real estate professionals learn this material so that they can protect themselves against errors, oversights and misunderstandings.
In this module, the student will learn about the types of general contracts as well as the different kinds of real estate contracts. The module begins by providing the student with an overview of the various types of contracts: bilateral, unilateral, implied, express, executed, executory, valid, void, voidable and unenforceable. Once the student is introduced to the different types of contracts, he or she learns what makes a contract legally enforceable, this being the five components that make a contract valid: mutual assent, legally competent parties, consideration, lawful objective and adherence to a statute of frauds.
This module includes the following lessons:
•Introduction to Contracts
•Contract Fulfillment
•Real Estate Contracts
•Contracts, Purchase and Sales Agreements in Texas
The fourth and concluding lesson in this module presents real-world dilemmas and concrete applications of the information presented in the rest of the course. As the student completes this module, he or she should try to develop a broad picture of environmental issues and how they fit into the larger practice of real estate; the last lesson will help with this project by presenting comprehensive content questions, practice problems and case studies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

•Name and explain the various components of a valid contract.

This module introduces the student to some of the general ideas and theories that help make up our concept of ethical judgment. This provides a background for a detailed discussion of professional real estate ethics, framed in terms of the NAR ® Code of Ethics. In this module, we will frequently refer to the NAR®’s Code of Ethics as “the Code of Ethics” or “the Code.”
With a basic understanding of ethics and a clear idea of the requirements imposed by the NAR ® Code of Ethics, the student will then explore the steps of the ethical decision-making process and the ways in which ethical conduct contributes to better business practices.
This module includes the following lessons:
•Introduction to Ethics
