This course will provide 6 hours of required core topics needed to renew your real estate license in Tennessee for the 2025-2026 biennium. We’ve divided this course into 3 parts. Part 1 analyzes updates to TREC rules on termination of affiliation, commissions of affiliated licensees, electronic records, teams, military application for licensure, reinstatement of an expired license, lapsed errors and omissions insurance coverage, and more. Its 2nd half reviews agency relationships and responsibilities. Advertising finishes up this part.
Part 2 is about contract law: legal capacity, fulfillment of contractual duties, common clauses, and remedies for breach. Tennessee Disclosure laws are covered in depth immediately following. Next is property management requirements, such as maintaining client trust accounts in compliance with state laws. The principal broker’s supervision over such an operation is enforced by civil penalties. Economic factors and common duties and responsibilities are outlined.
For Part 3, a discussion of material facts for purposes of disclosure is followed by a review of Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure form. Finally, overall duties of a principal broker are examined, including taking a look at supervision rules generally (with some specific forays into termination of affiliates, branch offices and when real estate licenses are needed) with a conclusion focused on the independent contractor relationship and real estate licences as such.
After each lesson, students will be asked a single question about the material. Six incremental quizzes will test the student’s knowledge.
