New Agency Disclosure Requirements for New York State:
Prior to the revisions to Section 443 of the Real Property Law, only one agency relationship disclosure form was required for buyer/seller and landlord/tenant transactions. The combined form used the terms "seller/landlord" and"buyer/tenant" interchangeably. On and after January 1, 2007, the combined form will no longer be permitted and, rather, two separate disclosure forms will be required; one for seller/buyer transactions and another for landlord/tenant transactions. The two forms provide expanded, clearer definitions of the different agency relationships and explain the fiduciary duties owed by brokers and salespeople under each type of agency relationship.
The revised statute also defines dual agency. While the concept of dual agency is not new, Real Property Law, Section 443 now provides a clear definition of this type of agency relationship. A dual agent is defined by the revised statute as, "an agent who is acting as a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent in the same transaction."
The revised statute also adds a definition for "designated sales associate." A designated sales associate is defined by the statute as: " a licensed real estate salesman or associate broker, working under the supervision of a real estate broker, who has been assigned to represent a client when a different client is also represented by such real estate broker in the same transaction." Essentially, a broker who is acting as a dual agent will be permitted to appoint two different real estate salespersons and/or associate brokers to represent each party to the transaction. The representative broker is still required to provide supervision to the designated sales associates. For this reason, and as in a pure dual agency situation, when designated sales associates are appointed, the consumers are not afforded all of the fiduciary duties inherent in a single agency arrangement. Specifically, the designated sales associate and representative broker cannot provide the fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty. The new agency disclosure form contains a disclaimer to this fact.

Liens, Taxes & Foreclosures
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
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.
- Be able to identify and describe types of non-tax liens.
- Recognize the different types of liens and know how their priority is established.
- Understand how ad valorem taxes and special assessments are levied.

Contracts, Purchase & Sales Agreements
NOTE: This course is approved for 2 Hours Mandatory and 2 Hours Elective Credit
Approved Course Number(s):M-7079
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Clear, mutually-acceptable agreements are an essential component of the legal transference of ownership. In the practice of real estate, contracts are the instruments used to describe and record the agreements surrounding the conveyance of property. Some type of contract is nearly always involved, whether a salesperson is promising to sell a property within a specified period of time, a prospective buyer is placing an offer on a house or a seller is considering an offer on property.
Before entering into a legally binding agreement, real estate professionals must fully understand the contracts that govern their industry. Failure to understand contracts opens a licensee to various kinds of liability and can seriously damage one’s professional reputation. Therefore, it is vital that real estate professionals learn this material so that they can protect themselves against errors, oversights and misunderstandings.
In this module you will learn about the types of general contracts as well as the different kinds of real estate contracts. The module provides the student with an overview of the various types of contracts: bilateral, unilateral, implied, express, executed, executory, valid, void, voidable and unenforceable. Once the student is introduced to the different types of contracts, he or she learns what makes a contract legally enforceable, this being the five components that make a contract valid: mutual assent, legally competent parties, consideration, lawful objective and adherence to a statute of frauds. This module includes the following lessons:
- Features of a Legally Valid Contract
The fifth and concluding lesson in this module presents real-world dilemmas and concrete applications of the information presented in the rest of the course. As the student completes this module, he or she should try to develop a broad picture of environmental issues and how they fit into the larger practice of real estate; the last lesson will help with this project by presenting comprehensive content questions, practice problems and case studies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Name and explain the various components of a valid contract.
Identify the differences between a unilateral and bilateral contract.
Describe the various types of contracts.
Recognize the difference between a forbearance and performance agreement.

Environmental Hazards
This course covers major environmental hazards. Licensees need to familiarize themselves with environmental issues because they have a responsibility to disclose to buyers any information that might affect their decision to buy. Environmental hazards can dramatically affect a property’s value, so buyers, sellers, lenders and licensees all can be affected by them. This course includes the following lessons:
• The Indoor Environment
• The External Environment
• Legislation
• Disclosure and Site Assessment
• Real Estate Practice
Students will learn throughout this course to identify internal and external environmental issues. They will learn about health hazards, environmental legislation, liability and responsibility for cleanup and protection. They will also learn about actions they should take and how issues affect licensees and lending. Licensees are not expected to be environmental experts, but in this course students will acquire a competency with environmental issues which will help them to elucidate issues for buyers, sellers and lenders. Knowledge of environmental issues also will help protect them from charges of nondisclosure.
The conclusion of this course presents real world dilemmas and applications of the information presented. As the student completes this course, he or she should try to paint a big picture of environmental issues, which the course will address with comprehensive content questions, practices and case studies.
