Alternative Financing Options: Helping You Sell More Real Estate (1 CE Credit)
Today’s buyers don’t always fit into traditional lending guidelines, and deals fall apart when agents don’t know the alternatives. This free, 1-hour CE class covers real-world alternative financing options to help agents identify solutions, save transactions, and expand their buyer pool. Topics include property income-based lending, asset depletion, 1099 and self-employed qualifying, P&L qualifying, non-warrantable condos, medical professionals, and buyers without a Social Security number. Taught by Jared Hamilton, a 30+ year mortgage industry veteran.
Mineral Rights, Water & Dirt (2 CE Credits)
This class covers common but often misunderstood issues related to severed mineral rights, mineral estates, and water considerations when dealing with land and dirt transactions. Attendees will gain practical insight into how these issues impact real estate deals and what to watch for during a transaction.

The Cash Buyer Curveball: Understanding FinCEN’s Residential Reporting Rules
With the upcoming implementation of FinCEN’s Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule, real estate agents must be prepared for a major shift in how all-cash, entity, and trust-based purchases are handled. While Realtors are not the reporting party under the new rule, their awareness and early preparation are now critical to preventing delays, misunderstandings, and failed closings.
This one-hour course provides real estate professionals with a practical, easy-to-understand overview of the rule, including what constitutes a “reportable transaction,” how cash and non-financed deals impact compliance, and what information settlement agents must collect. Agents will learn how to ask the right questions up front, how to prepare buyers and sellers for increased documentation requirements, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a transaction under the new regulations.
Designed specifically for working agents, this course breaks down FinCEN’s requirements into actionable steps, real-world examples, and communication strategies that help ensure smooth contract-to-closing timelines. When agents understand the curveballs that cash buyers can introduce, they can better protect their clients—and their commissions.
