HABITEC Completes Another Continuing Education Course for REALTORS Licensed in TN!

By
Home Inspector with HABITEC Home and Building Inspections, LLC

HABITEC Completes Another Continuing Education course presentation for REALTORS licensed in Tennessee!!

On February 16, 2011, HABITEC presented the TENNESSEE HOME INSPECTION course at the Eastern Middle Tennessee Association (EMTAR) of REALTORS facility at 2588 North Mt. Juliet Road, Mt. Juliet, TN, 37122, from 08:30 AM - 4:00 PM.  The Point of Contact at EMTAR for this class was Cher Dugan, EMTAR Senior Administrative Assistant, DuganC@realtracs.com, 615-758-9851.

HABITEC offers the 6 hour TREC-approved class in Home Inspection topics pertinent to REALTORS.  Topics include Exterior Components, Interior Spaces and Components, Foundations, Roof and Attic, HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing.  These classes are available in a classroom setting with Richard Acree as the Instructor.  The classes are offered as a power point presentation with hundreds of fascinating pictures and interesting perspective offered by Richard.  These classes also give REALTORS a chance to interact with a certified and licensed Home Inspector, ask questions and discuss in general and in detail the issues that come up during a Home Inspection.  

The purpose of this course is to explain the rules of the State of Tennessee, Department of Commerce and Insurance, for Home Inspection procedures, methods and requirements.  The classes will help Realtors understand what the Home Inspector should be looking at and what the Home Inspector should be looking for.  Terminology, methods of inspection, tools and limitations of the Home Inspection processes will be included.  The end result of this course will be to help REALTORS understand the State of Tennessee rules and requirements for Home Inspections and better prepare the REALTOR to discuss the Home Inspection Report with their Client.  The Client will then be able to understand the report and make a better decision regarding the real estate transaction.

Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to come to EMTAR in Mt. Juliet, TN.  As you know, I attended your first class last year, and returned for seconds.  Like going to an old fashion "Dinner on the grounds" at church, where we men joke about needing to put side-boards on our plates because there is just more to eat than a plate will carry.  Your class offers much more than can be consumed in a single helping.

Information provided in any single category is well worth the time expended.  I appreciate how you answer questions with brevity & clarity.  It was noted that you didn't back away from tough questions.  I am confident that information garnered from the class will benefit my clients ten-fold.

Any REALTOR®, thinking about attending a future class will be well served in so doing.  I heard only positive feedback from fellow agents during the day.  The extensive list of those who offered our recommendations speaks to that consensus.

Good luck with future classes, and than you again for providing the Top Ten List for Sellers to consider in preparing their home for inspection.

Respectfully,

Fred Cope, REALTOR®, Reliant Realty

Hi Fred.  Thank you for your kind comments!

Teaching the Continuing Education Course Tennessee Home Inspection has truly been a joy for me.  I have received many good comments from those attending.  Many have offered to be a reference for the class, like you did.  That is a great compliment.  And you came back for a second time, something that is a special endorsement of the material in the class.

EMTAR has been very gracious in their acceptance and support of the course.  The staff members at the EMTAR office have clearly made the difference in taking a good class and making it special.  They take care of many loose ends and somehow make me look better than I deserve.

I look forward to teaching the class as often as I can schedule it.  EMTAR and MTAR appear to be on board with the course at their facilities.  Sumner Association of REALTORS may be considering it.  And I hope to teach the course in Williamson County soon. 

Your kind words and support are greatly appreciated.  I hope I can return the effort some way some day to you.

Sincerely,

Richard Acree
