COLORADO
Pursuant to the recent legislative changes in House Bill 08-1212 including Colorado Revised Statutes 12-61-110.5, effective April 17, 2008, licensees are now required to complete 12 hours of the mandatory 4-Hour Annual Commission Update Course prior to applying to renew an active license, activate an inactive license or reinstate an expired license to active status. Licensees must complete 12 hours of the 4-Hour Annual Commission Update Course during the three-year renewal cycle under the following circumstances:
1) A real estate broker’s license expires on April 17, 2008. The licensee must complete 12 hours of the update course by their anniversary date April 17, 2011.
2) When a real estate broker’s license expires after April 17, 2008, the licensee must complete 12 hours of the 4 hour mandatory update course during the licensee’s new three-year renewal cycle.
The remaining licensees who, as of April 17, 2008, are in a partial three year renewal cycle must complete only 8 hours of the 4-Hour Annual Commission Update Course prior to applying to renew an active license, activate an inactive license or reinstate an expired license to active status. However, once the license is renewed, the licensee must complete 12 hours of the update course during the new three-year renewal cycle. Please note: The 4-Hour Annual Commission Update Course is not the Mandatory Ethics Course that is often offered by the local Board of Realtor Associations. The Mandatory Ethics Course receives elective credits, not credit toward the 4-Hour Annual Commission Update Course.

Real Estate Appraisal
In order to own and convey property in a market economy it is necessary for that property to be assigned a specific monetary value. This process, unlike, say, that of assigning value to durable goods—which have specific materials, production and marketing costs—can be somewhat more involved. With property, the fixed costs—building materials and labor costs—are always accompanied by more esoteric factors that go to make property more (or less) valuable. Becoming a member of the group that understands and applies these factors is a bit more complex than simply being able to understand a balance sheet.
The objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the principles, theories, duties and activities that pertain to real estate appraisal and valuation. Developing an opinion of value is what the real estate appraiser does, but, as we’ve alluded to, this is far from an effortless process. Understanding the obligation of the real estate industry to promote professionalism and ethical business practices is a beginning to being able to carry out this process such that it is beneficial to licensees, consumers and the market in which they do business.
As well as touching upon general standards by which the value of property should be established, this course is broken down into separate lessons which cover:
Role of a Real Estate Appraiser
Federal Legislation and National Agencies Governing the Industry
An Overview of Basic Value Principles
Dynamics of the Real Estate Market
Three Approaches to Appraisal
Appraisal Process
Real Estate Appraisal Practice Exercises
Completing this course will leave the student with a good understanding of fundamental principles of appraisal, methods of real estate valuation, the various kinds of appraisal licensure and certification, the diverse types of appraisal, and what license or certificate is appropriate for given ones. In addition, the course examines the ways in which appraisal can affect both the larger economy and the availability of housing. The course concludes with real-world practice lessons in which students apply their new knowledge to examples and case studies.
1031 Exchanges
The objective of this course is to enlighten the participant in the many important aspects of Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The course will focus on the benefits of the §1031 exchange for the investor, licensed real estate agent/broker and other parties to the transaction.
Participants will learn exactly what qualifies under Section 1031 and, furthermore, how to utilize the various types of §1031 exchange formats to enhance their clients' position in the investment real estate market.
Real-life examples will be used to illustrate the important procedural issues as well as the IRS Rules and Regulations.
Environmental Hazards
This course covers major environmental hazards. Licensees need to familiarize themselves with environmental issues because they have a responsibility to disclose to buyers any information that might affect their decision to buy. Environmental hazards can dramatically affect a property’s value, so buyers, sellers, lenders and licensees all can be affected by them. This course includes the following lessons:
- Disclosure and Site Assessment
Students will learn throughout this course to identify internal and external environmental issues. They will learn about health hazards, environmental legislation, liability and responsibility for cleanup and protection. They will also learn about actions they should take and how issues affect licensees and lending. Licensees are not expected to be environmental experts, but in this course students will acquire a competency with environmental issues which will help them to elucidate issues for buyers, sellers and lenders. Knowledge of environmental issues also will help protect them from charges of nondisclosure.
The conclusion of this course presents real world dilemmas and applications of the information presented. As the student completes this course, he or she should try to paint a big picture of environmental issues, which the course will address with comprehensive content questions, practices and case studies.
