WHY: Taxes ​are ​a ​reality ​and ​it ​is ​often ​said ​it ​isn't ​about ​what ​you ​make, ​but ​about ​what ​you ​keep. 

Knowing ​the ​questions ​to ​ask ​the ​tax ​professionals ​can ​make ​a ​huge ​difference ​in ​the ​tax ​dollars ​paid ​versus ​tax ​dollars ​saved. Most ​real ​estate ​licensees ​are ​independent ​contractors, ​a ​status ​that ​is ​ultimately ​determined by ​the ​IRS. ​Licensees ​need ​to ​be ​aware ​of ​the ​benefits ​and ​pitfalls ​of ​independent ​contractor ​status- ​especially ​as ​they ​apply ​to ​taxation. ​Client's ​need ​to ​be ​made ​aware ​of ​the ​tax ​implications ​as ​they ​relate ​to ​a ​transaction. 

This ​course ​discusses ​taxes ​related ​to ​a ​real ​estate ​licensee's ​business ​and ​how ​this ​interacts ​with ​the ​clients ​transaction. ​The ​purpose ​of ​this ​course ​is ​to ​make ​licensees ​aware ​of ​the ​parts ​of ​the ​tax ​code ​that ​affect ​the ​licensee's ​business ​and ​the ​interaction ​with ​client ​and ​customer ​relations. 

GRI ​REQUIREMENTS:

• What special closing requirements are involved?
  • Whether the property was held as joint tenancy, tenants in common, or with a beneficiary deed, we'll cover the requirements necessary to properly transfer title for each scenario.

Insurance broker Jeff Krommendyk from Security First Insurance will teach us how to protect ourselves and our clients.

The fires in Boulder County have made homeowners, including me, re-think the danger our homes face from wildfires. Having grown up on a farm I witnessed many grass fires and I never saw one get hot enough to burn a home. So, I thought our homes would be safe. I was wrong. Even our home in the Ken Caryl area that is not in the Wildland-Urban Interface only because of C-470 makes me pause and think about the danger our primary residence faces because of wildfire.

This much greater risk is making me rethink my homeowner’s insurance policies too. Have you?

• What are our deductibles?
• Do we have enough coverage to rebuild?
• What is replacement cost insurance? Is our limit on this high enough?
• Do we have enough home rental coverage for our temporary home if our home burns down?
• Will the insurance company help protect our homes in case of a wildfire?
• What about Actual Cash Value policies?

We in the real estate industry have a unique opportunity to provide HUGE VALUE to our clients and sphere of influence to protect them and their homes. Insurance broker Jeff Krommendyk from Security First Insurance will teach us how to protect ourselves and our clients.

• Whether or not to disclose other offer prices.
• Whether or not to set a contract review (acceptance) date in the MLS remarks– and recommended language if doing that.

• The proper way to counter an offer with additional provisions to eliminate any confusion on terms or dates.
