AIM FOR THE UPRIGHTS/ETHICS & REALTOR
Forward: Introduction Course Description
Stu Crum and Doug Clark wrote, “Aim for the Uprights.” Having played college sports (Florida State), I connected with Stu’s thoughts and realized how they related to ethics in real estate. As in all sports – you could call real estate a sport – your objective is to win for your client.
Stu was a college and professional football place kicker. His game plan was to be intentional, purposely driven, setting priorities, staying clear of distractions, instilling harmony, taking time to evaluate and identifying his thoughts and feelings, taking responsibility for your actions. Because all decisions have consequences, increasing your self-awareness through deep emotional intelligence is important. I know, you are thinking “what the …” is he talking about. Here we go again. Please hear me out. This relates to how we connect and conduct ourselves with buyers and sellers, and other brokers.
ANOTHER dAY IN PARADISE: COASTAL CHALLENGES FOR THE BROKER
INTRODUCTION Course Description:
Waterfront properties are generally hot commodities, and thus riparian flooding often implies high potential for human impact. A home at the beach is the ultimate in coastal living. But, at what cost?
Brokers will learn to manage client and consumer expectations, demonstrate knowledge and challenges of waterfront properties, and sourcing information that will help consumers make sound decisions. We will discuss broker responsibilities, shoreline and tidewater issues, environmental laws and conditions.
The primary objective of the courses is to provide instruction at a level deemed to be of special importance in the active practice of real estate brokerage regarding waterfront properties in North Carolina. Topics addressed:
• Coastal Environment Overview
• Shoreline Erosion
• Flooding Hazards
• Septic Systems
• Sustainable Development
• Sea Level Rise
Regulatory Challenges
THE MOVIE ELECTIVE ~ everything i know about real estate...
A movie was an opportunity to share a story, an experience, and in the case of Gone with the Wind, a cultural phenomenon. The love of the land. Land is the "only thing worth having, the only thing worth dying for!"
Land and real estate brokers are often motifs and characters in television and movies. I’ve often kidded my students that every great book and movie has real estate at its core, citing, of course, Gone with the Wind, but also The Good Earth, and many more. A number of my prelicensing lessons were informed by movies and television shows that featured a theme on real estate, like "The Koi Pond", "Beverly Hill Billies" or "Mayberry RFD".
TOXIC TRANSACTIONS ... how to deal with them
LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH BAD SITUATIONS.
- Sometimes you need to walk away from a client.
- Choose how you deal with caustic people.
Introduction
While the bar to enter the real estate sales profession is relatively low, it is nevertheless a challenging business. Experienced agents complain about the long hours, the lack of respect for the industry, and the many failures and rejections they encounter in their daily practice.
But the greatest challenge brokers may face are toxic transactions—that is, those dealings that –in addition to the complexity of the transaction itself —include participants who are extremely difficult.
Stress as a contributing factor
There’s no question that the sale or purchase of real estate, particularly a home, is stressful. How stressful? Apparently quite nerve-wracking. In 1967, psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe examined the medical records of over 5,000 medical patients as a way to determine whether stressful events might cause illnesses. Patients were asked to tally a list of 43 life events based on a relative score. A positive correlation of 0.118 was found between their life events and their illnesses. Their results were published as the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. Subsequent validation has supported the links between stress and illness, both physical and mental.
Let's explore some situations that could have been handled better, and come away with a new way to handle these challenging situations.
