Development of Land: Unearthed - 6 CE - Instructor Linda Olson

"Under all is the land" is the opening line of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. The concept applies to all real estate transactions. Quite often, REALTORS® not conducting transactions involving development on a regular basis don't realize how many different facets of the industry they need to be knowledgeable about before diving in to assist a client. The purpose of this class is to "unearth" the development process for vacant land or land undergoing redevelopment; discuss factors that can affect development, including land and its uses, laws that regulate land use; evaluation of site conditions; and determination of the feasibility of a proposed new project. Knowledge of these things will allow you to assist your customer to successfully navigate land being redeveloped or a vacant land transaction, whether the purchase is for customers looking for land on which to build their dream home or for a client wanting to develop a new subdivision or retail establishment.
