ERC Relocation: Assisting Corporate Transferees

Relocation presents an array of new challenges and opportunities to all real estate professionals. This course covers the definition of “relocation” and the development of the relocation industry. We explain how relocation affects the roles of various real estate professionals, including appraisers, home inspectors and real estate salespersons, and brokers.

We walk the student through a relocation transaction, covering the assignment, or re-assignment, of an employee through the selling of the employee’s home. Some of the steps in this process require specific explanation. This course covers those points in specific lessons; for example, we devote one lesson to how different companies manage relocation and the types of programs that they commonly institute. The latter half of this course addresses how relocation affects common real estate concerns. These concerns include disclosure law, agency, tax law, fair housing, and non-discrimination issues.
