Students will be introduced to splitting of commissions, the methods and appraiser uses to find value, real estate finance and property taxes, closing statements and prorations, property management and leases. The class will take a look at new technology available in the real estate business and how computers and calculators influence the practice of real estate. The Real Estate Math course includes the application of both real estate and math principles. The course is intensive in vocabulary, terminology and definitions. Text and special assignments encourage reading and communication.
Tests require creative thinking, application of principles and relationships, and problem solving.
These applications require motivational skills, self-management, personal responsibility, and problem solving. Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students, and a complete record of attendance will be kept by each instructor for the entire length of each course. Students will be counted absent from class meetings missed, beginning with the first official day of classes. Students, whether present or absent, are responsible for all material presented or assigned for a course, and will be held accountable for such materials in the determination of course grades. The instructor may reinstate the student if satisfied that the student will resume regular attendance and will complete the course.
