Course Description
Meet Candy Cooke of Agent eLearning (if you haven’t already)!
In this new self-paced course, you’ll get your required contracts CE done and find out what’s changed as of 2025 in the Texas 1-4 Family Contract. Hear about the updates and the most common mistakes folks make when filling out contracts, all in plain English with your favorite instructor!
In this course, we will walk through the entire 1-4 Contract, paragraph by paragraph. Each module is followed by an instructor video that highlights the key areas of importance/concern with regard to protecting buyers, sellers and the public.
Key areas of focus: Students will learn that Paragraph 2 provides descriptions of the items that shall remain with the dwelling or are exclusions. Agents and brokers must help their clients understand what is being conveyed or not. Additionally, Paragraph 4 defines what leases may apply. Due to the cost of installation, Solar equipment often causes major issues in a transaction. Every agent should know what information they should have prior to completing the form. Additionally, every agent should have consulted with lenders to get assistance in completing Paragraph 4 as well as the addenda that go with the contract. Students will review and understand how Paragraph 9 and 10 also protects consumers about leased items.
