Q:Chapter 1 the very first paragraph: "Only a century ago, buyers had few protection from unscrupulous sellers real estate agents. Instead, the Common-Law doctrine of caveat emptor (Latin phrase-let the buyer beware) prevailed." I've read it several times and every new time I read it's getting more complicating; this is chapter 1 and it has not yet covered anything about common-law. Besides that I also don't understand why the author is continuing the second sentence with the word 'Instead.' I already don't like the way the author has written this book. Please help if possible.

Are you doing this class online? Or in a class room. If you are doing it online, you are screwed. I promise you that this subject is NOT on the test and if you are in a class room setting, the teacher will tell you this. The ONLY purpose of the class is to help you pass the exam, not understand real estate. If you are doing this online, there is NO way to know what to study and what is important since you don't have a teacher to tell you. If you are trying to get your real estate lic, DO IT IN PERSON, not online or self study.

Q:can a real estate broker lend money for a home

This is not typical at all. Most mortgage loans on houses are made by banks that offer such mortgages. There are also 'mortgage brokers' which open storefronts, and in theory, act in the best interest of the borrower. They have contacts throughout the mortgage banking industry, shop around for the best deals, and then connect the borrower with the bank. A real estate broker on the other hand simply brings together the buyer of a home with the seller, and charges a commission for the service. They do not lend money. In fact my experience with them is that they want to check out your credentials before dealing with you so that they don't waste their time and effort on broke people who can't pay to play.

Q:so i know to be able to get your real estate license i would first have to have 2 years experience to be a real estate sales person and get my salesperson license. i also know the requirements for that, i just applied for my college classes for real estate and i know that i have to pass these classes and then pass my examination test to get my real estate salesperson license...so i wanted to know how hard is the examination?what questions should i look out for?and how many times did it take you to pass?how many tries can you get?im gonna try to take mine after i pass my classes and i wanted to know if its PRACTICAL to believe that i can pass on my first try :P

You might would want to check the requirements as to what is required to obtain a real estate license in your state. Normally there is no requirement to have two years requirement to obtain your real estate license. There is normally a two year experience as a licensed sales person to become a real estate broker. Also normally a real estate person applying for a real estate license there is no requirement to obtain your license, after completing two years of college. In most states you may go on line to obtain the classroom requirement to obtain the requirements to take the state real estate examination. In most states you may take a weekend class to qualify for the classroom requirements, prior to taking the state real estate examination. After getting your real estate license you would be required by your state to have continuing education in the real estate field. This can be obtained by seminars, classroom study or other approved means recognized by your Department of Real State. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON

Q:I'm planning on getting my real estate agents license in the next few weeks. I've heard that Century 21 and some other companies have their own courses. Is it better to attend their course or just a regular local real estate school. Also what companies are good for new agents. Any advice you can give is appreciated! Thanks!Oh and I'll be getting my license in Tenessee.

You can take the courses through a state-approved online/correspondence course. In California, it was about $150 or so for the basic courses to pass DRE exam. If you are good studying on your own, this is a great way to get through it fast. If you're better in a classroom environment where you can ask questions, then pursue that option. I can't recommend a particular company to hang your license with. You'll want to research the desk fees, commission splits, what type of new agent training they have available, transaction assistance, etc. There are a lot of not-busy licensed agents right now, so you may be best served finding a small company that will help train you vs. a big name brokerage where you have to pay high fees and no one will speak to you.

There are many firms that do much less along with your donation than what a smoker would possibly do along with your donation or an alcoholic. This shows that a individual has a couple of crisis.

Q:Do the real estate agents have their own painting company they rely on, or like do they recommend to the homeowner a painting company? and does this happen alot where there's a house to for sell, but the house needs to be painted and the agents tell the homeowner to get it painted? sry if it isnt clear

Well it seems as though your asking if the real estate agent and the paint guy are friends.What happens is called networking since the real estate agent is always around some houses that needs painting he has a guy that does it cheap because of the bulk of work. Same as a real estate agent would keep a mortgage broker on speed dial incase his customer needs a loan.Hope it Helps

Q:Hi, My listing on Yahoo Real Estate shows up on the search, but when you click on the picture of the listing the link does not lead to the details page. It leads to this message "Sorry, the page you requested was not found." So, no one can see my listing detail or contact info. I have tried to straighten out this with Yahoo for 36 hours now with no results. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks.Francis

Do you have an application to rent from this company? Have you spoken with them on the telephone? There are many questions needed answering prior to you sending this person or company an money whatsoever. It might be more beneficial if you had more knowledge about this group, company or individual. I would not send a money order, it is not the safest way to send money and most of the time it is untraceable by the sender. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON
