Without an Indiana license, an out-of-state commercial real estat e practitioner was limited to earning only referral fees. Indiana has since changed its commer cial real estate license portability rules under its Real Estate Broker and Salesperson Licensing Act (“Act”, found under Indiana Code Section 25-34.1) which has greatly expanded out-of-state real estate practitioners’ opportunities in Indiana. Indiana now allows out-of-state commercial practitioners to perform acts with respect to Indiana commercial real estate, which w ould otherwise require an Indiana license, without an Indiana license. Out-of-state commercial re al estate practitioners must, however, strictly follow the requirements established in the Indiana statute. The rules for commercial and residential real estate practit ioners differ and this article only addresses the requirements for commercial real estate practi tioners. Additionally, the requirements for out-of-state real estate practitioners to conduct business in Indiana differ for brokers and salespeople. The requirements for each will be discussed below. Out-of-State Commercial Brokers For an out-of-state commercial broker to perform acts with re spect to Indiana commercial real estate without an Indiana license (when a license would be requi red for a resident commercial broker) for a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration, or in expec tation, or upon the commercial broker or the broker’s has joined forces with Real Estate Dividends to offer licensed real estate professionals a way to combine their business skills and their interest in promoting the March of Dimes.http://www.marchofdimes.com/files/IL_red_brochure.pdf. Here’s how it works: Call the Real Estate Dividends program at 1-800-962-8801 and tell them that you’re interested in being on the list of real estate professionals to be used when a potential buyer or seller wishes to participate and contribute to the March of Dimes. When a call comes that falls into your market area, that potential client can then be referred to you. It costs you nothing to be on the list… no maintenance charges, nothing. When you are called by the Real Estate Dividends program, you will be given the name and contact number for a potential new client. When you buy or sell real estate, you expect it to be a rewarding experiencebut hundreds of dollars in cash is one reward you probably didn’t anticipate. Yet that’s exactly what you, and the March of Dimes, are entitled to receive when you choose to participate in Real Estate Dividends. This exclusive program pays both you and the March of Dimes a generous dividend every time you buy or sell real estate. to determine their real estate needs and desired location. If the individual has a preference for a particular agent or real estate company then they need to make it known at this time. seller to a real estate professional. The two parties will have the normal buyer/seller/real estate agent relationship to find the desired real estate. 4. When the real estate transaction closes, the RED FS-2005-12, February 2005 In recent years, the booming real estate market has helped increase mortgage fraud and other phony real estate related schemes.http://www.mortgagefraudblog.com/images/uploads/IRS_Real_Estate_Fraud_Fact_Sheet.pdf. Every year, these fraudulent schemes victimize individuals and businesses from many walks of life, including struggling low-income families lured into home loans they can’t afford, legitimate lenders saddled with over-inflated mortgages and honest real estate investors fleeced out of their investment dollars. Through federal tax fraud investigations and money laundering charges, the Internal Revenue Service is playing a key role in the fight against real estate fraud. The number of real estate fraud investigations initiated by IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) doubled between Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 and Fiscal Year 2003. In addition, the IRS has thousands of returns under audit involving individuals and entities associated with the real-estate business. Fraudulent Qualifications — Real estate agents assist buyers who would not otherwise qualify by fabricating their employment history or credit record. In these real estate fraud cases, the income earned from these schemes is often laundered to hide the proceeds from the government. As the following statistics indicate, IRS criminal investigations of real estate fraud continue to be an area of concern. Real Estate Agent Sentenced in Bank Fraud Scheme On Dec. 20, 2004, in Los Angeles, Calif., Satish Shetty was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $37,478 in restitution. According to court documents, Shetty, through his companies, entered into escrows to purchase residential real estate at or near fair In Kentucky, foreclosures against real estate, and the improvements and appurtenances located thereon, must be effectuated through a court ordered judicial sale which is conducted by the circuit court's master commissioner.http://www.dklaw.com/Articles/PDF/TJK_Real_Estate_Foreclosure.pdf. Pursuant to statute, the lien holder is ac-corded a lien or interest against real estate to secure any unpaid indebtedness between the property owner and the lien claimant for labor, materials, or services which benefitted the real estate. In each case, the person asserting the lien or interest must prove that the property owner had defaulted on his obligations to the lien holder, and that the lien holder has the right to foreclose upon his lien or interest against the real estate. The foreclosure com-plaint must be filed with the circuit court located in the same county where the real estate is located. In the foreclosure complaint, the lien holder must also set forth allegations which describe the nature of the indebtedness by and between the lien holder and the property owner, a description of the interest which the lien holder claims against the real estate, and an assertion that the property owner is in The lien holder must also provide in the foreclosure complaint a full description of the real estate which is subject to the foreclosure action, including a reference as to the source of title of the property owner's ownership of the real estate. In conclusion, the lien holder will request that the circuit court accord to the lien holder judgment against the property owner in the amount of the obligations which are in default, and addition-ally, an order of the court referring the real estate How can I take a title to Mexican real estate in the coastal zone? Can I name my U..S. family living trust as a success or beneficiary of the Mexican real estate that is held in a Mexican fideicomiso ? The answers to these “FAQs” are designed to help the reader have a better understanding of the legal and tax issues associated with the purchase, use and eventual sale of Mexican real estate. It has developed specific and unique legal and tax expertise as to the crossborder corporate structuring and tax planning of U.S. inve stments in Mexican Real Estate. Procopio’s International Practice Group’s series of articles a nd specialized conferences are of special interest to current and future U.S. investors in Mexican real estate. A non-Mexican citizen cannot own a fee simple title of Mexican real estate in the coastal zone or along the international borders. The SA or SRL can own the Mexican real estate in these circumstances and there are generally no restrictions as to the citizenship or residence of its owners and managers. What is the Calvo Clause and why must I agree to it when investing in Mexican real estate? Filings before this registry are particularly relevant for real property, since applicable Mexican law sets forth that any transfer of real es tate will be effective vis-à-vis third parties afte r the corresponding transaction has been duly filed. The broker is insisting I make a non-refundable dep osit on the purchase of Mexican real estate. The Mexican real estate sales and broker community is not a regulated profession in Mexico like in most states in the United States. Why can I not locate a Mexican We all feel challenges in our lives.http://www.realestatechampions.com/pdfs/ccissue270.pdf. These challenges can manifest themselves at work, at home, with our health, in our spiritual life. These challenges are often accompanied by discouragement. Discouragement can often happen when we survey the difficulties that lay before us. We can de-motivate ourselves because of the gap between the reality of where we are and the vision of where we want to be. The first thing that usually happens when we find ourselves in that place of challenge and discouragement is that we don’t think clearly or rationally. Real Estate Champions If prospects always said yes, real estate agents wouldn’t be salespeople; we would be called order takers. One of the reasons a real estate agent should and does get paid well is that they are compensated for dealing with prospect rejection and finding solutions – often when a ready answer seems illusive or not readily available. In my three years in the upper-end real estate industry, my sales have doubled each year. There are really only about forty possible objections in the selling process of real estate. The problem is we do not regularly practice countering objections in real estate.

This public sector real estate work force is currently facing a number of challenges.http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/realestate/pubsectcert.pdf. There are very few courses readily available to address the softer skill areas with a public sector real estate focus. To support these topic areas, new courses will need to be developed and made readily available to the public sector real estate community in areas such as project management. Focus group participants stressed the need for developing a phase-in or transition period, with work experience credit given to current public sector real estate professionals for most competency areas. Public sector real estate professionals work closely with staff from a number of other professions who have professional certifications and designations. Phase I included the assessment of the need for a professional certification for public sector real estate professionals, an evaluation of the potential market value of this certification and recommendations concerning the steps required to implement such a certification program if appropriate. These plans will be designed to achieve the objective of increased workforce capacity for the public sector real estate community. To understand pre and post licensing requirements for the real estate profession generally as a point of reference for determining potential requirements for public sector real estate professionals. The staff interviewed performed either real estate roles in their Agencies or were responsible for the conduct of real estate training in their Agency. Perceptions of the market value of a potential public sector real estate certification and how likely the respondent would be to Sharing a piece of real estate with a partner is a major decision with many important considerations to weigh.http://www.msaclu.org/Publications/RealEstateOwnership.pdf. The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide information about the rights and obligations of unmarried individuals who want to legally share property. Upon death, the surviving spouse routinely inherits a portion of the estate, regardless of the existence or contents of a will. The owner of a particular piece of real estate is the person or persons whose name(s) is/are on the deed. Again, all contracts dealing with real estate must be in writing to be enforceable. However, one downside of contracts regarding real property is that they will be subordinate to other real property interests without notice of the contract, such as a later mortgage. For this reason, it is prudent to write separate contracts for real and personal property, as a mingling of these types of property could potentially be used to imply a prurient relationship. Under federal law, the IRS levies a tax, called the Unified Federal Estate and Gift Tax, on property you leave at the time of your death or give away while living. Therefore, you cannot evade the estate tax by giving away property before you die. In practical terms, most Americans do not have to worry about paying federal gift and estate tax, because so few accumulate estates of sufficient size to be subject to the tax. Mississippi does not have a state gift tax, but it does have an estate tax. Because it is a good possibility that the law with respect to federal gift and estate tax could change in the upcoming years, be sure to consult the IRS or a knowledgeable attorney to find out how As a party to a real estate transaction, a client may be a seller, a buyer, a lessor or landlord, a lessee or tenant, a party to an exchange agreement, or a party to an option agreement.http://www.red.state.nv.us/realestate/re_position_statement.pdf.{NRS 645.009} Non-Client: a person who is NOT represented by a licensee. Licensee: a real estate broker, broker-salesman, or salesman licensed as such in the State of Nevada. A licensee must exercise reasonable skill and care, fairness and honesty with respect to ALL parties to the real estate transaction. Agent: a licensee authorized to act for or represent one or more parties to a real estate transaction. A brokerage agreement is an “employment contract” between a client and a licensee – it is NOT a contract between the parties to a real estate transaction. It is a disclosure of the existence of a relationship between the client and the licensee as agent, and of the duties the licensee owes all parties to a real estate transaction. The mission of the first section of the Duties Owed form is to disclose to each party to the transaction that a real estate licensee may: 1) act for only one party in the transaction; or 2) act for more than one party in the transaction; or 3) if licensed as a broker, assign different licensees affiliated (4) If it is agreed that the licensee will represent the client exclusively, the Confirmation Regarding Real Estate Agent Relationship section must be completed at the time that the client and licensee enter into the brokerage agreement. (See Confirmation Regarding Real Estate Agent Relationship). When the licensee identifies all parties to the transaction, the Confirmation Regarding Real Estate Agent The sellers were an elderly couple.http://www.schinnerer.com/risk_mgmt/real_estate/warstory1.pdf. As such, they could bring suit under the Elder Abuse Statutes in their jurisdiction. The agents were inexperienced with commercial real estate. This inexperience led to a crucial mistake: the failure to develop meaningful comparables to price the Johnsons' property The NAR code of ethics and local board rules state that a Real estate agent shall not practice in areas outside their area of expertise. The agents used residential real estate forms in a commercial transaction. A more experienced real estate agent would have known the difference in the forms and most likely used the right one. They contacted Joanne Greene of Winslow Real Estate to help them sell their property. In the meantime, one of Ms. Greene's colleagues at Winslow Real Estate, George Weathers, had met a couple looking to buy an investment property and complete a 1031 exchange to avoid capital gains taxes. Although Mr. Weathers had never been involved in a commercial real estate transaction, he agreed to represent the buyers, who offered the Johnsons $1.2 million for the property. All offers and counteroffers were made on residential real estate forms. The Johnsons in turn filed suit against both real estate agents. Key factors in the determination to settle the case was the obvious inexperience of the real estate agents in commercial real estate transactions and the age of the sellers. Any similarity to real people or cases are unintentional and purely coincidental. By representing both sides of the transaction, Winslow Real Estate had a fiduciary duty to both the seller and the buyer. Special care should be taken | ||
