Virginia Agency Relationships
The undertaking of real estate transactions is a complex endeavor. Expertise is needed by buyers and sellers of real property in order to assure that profits are maximized while losses are minimized, both of these ends being realized in legal and ethical ways. To gain this expertise, it is common, if not necessary, for buyers and sellers to enter into relationships with those who have expertise in real property issues—namely, you.
A variety of relationships exist in real estate transactions and they are designed to serve the different means and degrees to which buyers and sellers are represented. These distinct relationship categories are borne of agency law.
Virginia Rules and Regulations
This course covers a broad range of issues related to Virginia real estate rules and regulations to help students complete required continuing education course work.
Our introductory lesson will discuss details of license renewal in Virginia. Going full circle, we’ll look at renewal from the perspective of an active broker or salesperson, an inactive broker or salesperson, and the board. We’ll also be looking at what to do when reinstatement is required and what could trigger disciplinary action.
Moving on to our second lesson, we will look at various areas of maintenance as it relates to the Virginia real estate industry. As with most businesses, keeping up with records and files is essential to the success of a real estate firm or proprietorship. We’ll be looking at maintaining proper care of licenses, offices, escrow accounts, and financial records.
The business dealings of licensees are regulated in an effort to ensure that all parties to transactions in real estate, both you and your clients, are protected and held responsible for being professional. The third lesson looks at the ways in which we should handle our business dealings.

Liens, Taxes and Foreclosures
This course discusses liens, taxes and foreclosures. There are many types of liens as well as several kinds of taxes that can attach to a parcel of real estate. When borrowers default on a debt, foreclosure is the process by which lien-holders collect the unpaid portion of a debt. Because liens represent an interest in real property, it is crucial that real state licensees develop an in-depth understanding of liens and lien-related issues. Such knowledge also helps licensees to better advise buyers and sellers. The first lesson presents a general overview of liens, explains the classification of liens and discusses the types of non-tax liens. We then discuss taxes and tax issues, including ad valorem taxes, real estate tax computation, special assessments, real estate transfer taxes, federal income taxes, capital gains taxes, and tax shelters for homeowners and investors. We also include a discussion about the priority of liens and the methods of foreclosure, redemption, deficiency judgments, tips for homeowners facing foreclosure, and scams related to foreclosure.
Upon completion of this course, the student will:
•Be able to define the terms lien and tax lien and understand their operation.
•Recognize the different types of liens and know how their priority is established.
•Be able to identify and describe types of non-tax liens.
•Understand how ad valorem taxes and special assessments are levied.
•Know how homeowners and investors can save on federal income taxes and capital gains taxes through the use of tax shelters.
•Be able to describe and list different types of foreclosures.
•Recognize alternatives to foreclosure and common scams related to foreclosure.
Virginia Fair Housing
This module discusses the federal Fair Housing Act, as well as other anti-discrimination laws that directly affect the real estate industry and the financing of real estate.

In addition, we will discuss the meaning of discrimination and the existence of certain exemptions to the law. After detailing the Fair Housing Act, this course will move on to other relevant statutes, such as the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This module concludes with a real estate practice lesson that will present you with various case studies.
