    (Course #1911 IP & #1912 V)
    This course was developed as a direct result of North Carolina Real Estate Commissions adoption of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission’s Residential Square Footage Guidelines (“The Yellow Book”) on September 9, 1998, last modified in early 2014. The NCREC has an ongoing emphasis that square footage is
    a “Material Fact,” and that disclosing square footage in any marketing materials, including MLS data sheets, must be accurate. Therefore, the primary objective of this course is to prepare agents with the knowledge, skill, and competency to properly measure, calculate and report the accurate square footage of residential properties they represent in accordance with the NCREC Residential Square Footage Guidelines (“The Yellow Book”). The course was developed from a practical methodology perspective to assist real estate licensees in the understanding, interpretation, and practice of properly utilizing these Guidelines, and when followed are a sound risk management tool that will mitigate real estate agents misrepresentation exposure. This is a “Risk Management” course.

    the NC Vacation Rental Act - (Course #1884 & #1885)
    The economic impact from Tourism in North Carolina is the third largest component on the North Carolina economy. In 2021 the economic impact was $28.9 Billion Dollars and in 2022 it exceeded $33.0 Billion Dollars. The Tourism dollars spent includes vacation rentals which further includes owning and leasing vacation rental
    properties. Due to the fiscal impact coupled with the complexities of vacation rentals, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted G.S. 42A (NC Vacation Rental Act) in 1999. Because Vacation Rentals include buying, selling, and leasing these vacation rentals, which are real estate transactions, the NCREC is charged with
    regulating brokers who are engaged in vacation rentals or transactions involving vacation rental properties. This course is centered on the NC Vacation Rental Act (G.S. 42A) and utilizes examples from Case Law to instruct brokers on how to effectively guide their Landlord and Seller Clients in managing and preparing their
    vacation rental properties for current and future rentals, all while adhering to Local, State, Federal, and other relevant laws, regulations, and rules governing vacation rentals in North Carolina. This course is specifically designed to help brokers better understand, and be in compliance with, the NC Vacation Rental Act coupled
    with the NCREC Rules, and other laws and rules when practicing real estate brokerage in the vacation rental business in NC.
