Broker Experience Limited And “Owner” Defined By Real Estate Commission

IRED2019-05-30T12:28:08-06:00

Dan Naylor The Utah Real Estate Commission met on August 15th, 2018 and approved 2 new rule changes for real estate professionals in Utah. Ownership, and who is an "owner" of property seems like a very clear concept. Most people would assume that it is easily defined in law. However, there were increasing cases in real estate transactions where individuals would stretch the definition of the word "owner" so that they could avoid licensing laws, and perform real estate transactions without a real estate license. Licensing rules have an exception for a homeowner. Every individual should be able to sell their [...]

Benefits Of Online Classes

IRED2019-05-30T12:20:30-06:00

WHY CHOOSE AN ONLINE CLASS INSTEAD OF A LIVE ONE? The live experience can never be replaced. Let’s face it, in a similar way, movies are never going to be as meaningful or as impactful as doing something in person. It’s a different experience. However, when it comes to learning, especially as adults, online education is better than live for a number of reasons. First, is the convenience. Why wait for network TV when you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want through online streaming video. It’s the same for online classes. Why be beholden to a classroom schedule? Busy [...]

UTAH CE Requirements

IRED2019-05-30T12:16:57-06:00

HOW DOES CONTINUING EDUCATION GET PROCESSED? If you are like most agents, you don’t think much about your Continuing Education requirements until you get that renewal notice in the mail. But here’s the catch. Your license renews as the end of the month, but the state requires that you have your Continuing Education requirements, or CE, complete by the 15th of the month before you renew. Why is that? The Division is actually trying to make things easier for you. They require that CE providers submit student credit directly to the state, so that when it comes time for renewal, you won’t [...]

Going From Agent To Broker

IRED2019-05-30T12:10:01-06:00

Real estate agents all must be supervised by a Broker. But what does it take to become a broker yourself? A Utah broker license allows you to legally supervise an office of real estate agents, and possibly even run your own brokerage. Not everyone is cut out for the role, and there are many agents who are very successful as agents, and plan to stay that way. In fact, you can get your broker license, and remain an active sales agent. A licensed broker who works like a regular agent under the supervision of another broker is the known as an [...]

A first-year real estate agent can make up to $100,000 or more, and the only thing holding them back is their own motivation and [...]

How To Interview a Broker

IRED2019-05-30T11:52:01-06:00

Getting started as a real estate agent, you learn that all agents must be supervised by a broker. So how do you decide what broker and brokerage is going to be right for you? The first mistake many new agents make, is thinking that it’s like a job interview. That’s only half true. The main fallacy there, is that as a real estate agent, you are working for yourself. Your business is you! Not the brokerage you work for, not your broker, you are your own boss. You are not trying to convince the broker why you should are good enough [...]
