Description
State Requirements

Today’s buyers and sellers are working in a market that doesn’t look like it did a few years ago. Prices are up, inventory is tight, and the “usual” path to homeownership doesn’t work for everyone anymore. That’s why options like shared equity programs, down payment assistance, co-buying, owner financing, and alternative loan programs are popping up in real transactions—and the agents who understand them are the ones keeping deals alive.

In this three-hour elective course, you’ll get a clear, practical breakdown of what these pathways are, when they tend to show up, and how to talk about them in a way that helps clients without putting you in the role of a lender or attorney. You’ll also learn smart habits for working with the right pros and guiding creative transactions with confidence.

Course highlights include:

  • Strategies for overcoming affordability and limited inventory challenges
  • Creative financing options, including shared equity and co-buying models
  • Guidance for working with multi-generational and non-traditional buyers
  • Step-by-step overview of down payment assistance programs and grants
  • Practical application of forgivable loans and alternative funding sources
  • Clear boundaries for agent responsibilities and referral best practices
  • Tools for structuring and explaining co-ownership agreements
  • Communication approaches for aligning multiple buyers in one transaction
  • Real-world scenarios illustrating creative deal structuring
  • Building and using a trusted network of lenders, attorneys, and housing resources
