Description

January's Florida REALTORS® Virtual Campus course will be Property Management for the Real Estate Practitioner, with James Pierce as your instructor. 

Want to know more about Property Management without jumping in headfirst? This is the course for a Realtor® that wants or needs to know enough about Property Management to get by–whether to manage a property or two now or as an introduction to property management if they are considering possible investment down the road. Offered as a three or a four CE hour course, this class will prepare the student for those times when they must act as a property manager. It will walk them through the reasons that they are needed, what they need to do, and what they can expect from a legal standpoint. For the most efficient results, the material is written to provide Realtors® with hands-on, everyday information for actual management engagements. Finally, the course is designed to provide homebuyers with a knowledgeable practitioner, familiar with both the practice and the laws behind landlord/tenant relationships.
