 Transitional land is a concept that’s been around for ages. Even though many people sell transitional land every day, there is still a stigma surrounding this risky land type. What many people don’t know is that transitional land can turn out to be gold mines. For example, the land on which Disney World sits started off as swamp and was transitioned into the happiest place on Earth!
Opportunities are arising for real estate agents as more and more undeveloped land is being adapted for recreational and commercial uses, and real estate agents need to understand how to determine clients’ needs and buy and sell property at fair market value. This is an essential course for land and commercial agents looking to gain a better understanding of both sides of a transitional land transaction.
After taking this course, attendees will have the:
-
Expertise to analyze options and determine the highest and best use of a property.
-
Confidence to develop an effective marketing campaign to sell these types of properties.
-
Competence to estimate the market value of a transitional land property.
-
Knowledge to understand the financial aspects, physical considerations, governmental, legal and economic factors that impact transitional land.
-
Resources and tools received:
-
Formulas for discounting the time value of money
This course is an Accredited Land Consultant (ALC) Core Course.

DESCRIPTION
Occasionally, you may get a showing request from an appraiser or real estate licensee who isn’t an MLS user affiliated with one of our eKey reciprocity partners. So, we’ve enabled a new feature in your Supra eKey – Single Access!
Single Access allows listing agents on a case-by-case basis to invite the property owner, or out-of-area appraisers or real estate licensees to access a keybox at a specific date/time. Single Access offers:
-
Secure, limited, and non-transferable access
-
Access credentials delivered to the out-of-area licensee’s smartphone
-
Easy to view, modify and manage granted access within the Supra eKEY app
-
Out-of-area licensees have a “one-button” (i.e., Obtain Key) within the Supra eKEY app that provides easy access to obtain keys from Supra lockboxes.
To ensure our eKey holders limit the use of Single Access to authorized persons, the MLS Rules include the following:
Section 18.12.a. Supra’s Managed Access is available to any Participant or Subscriber Keyholder (i.e., listing agent) to provide access to the Keyholder’s keybox, provided the person to whom access is granted is the property owner or:
i. Holds an active real estate or appraiser license in the state where the property is located; and
ii. Is not an MLS Participant or Subscriber in this MLS or any MLS with whom Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® has e-Key reciprocity.
When granting Managed Access, Keyholder shall enter in the Supra system the name and contact information of the real person to whom access is being granted. Failure to abide by this Section 18.12.a. shall result in a:
i. Five hundred dollars ($500) for the first offense:
ii. Seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) for the second offense; and
iii. One thousand dollars ($1,000) for the third offense.
For any fourth or more violation, the offender shall appear before the MLS Committee for consideration of discipline to be imposed. Said discipline shall be limited to those outlined in Section 7 of hte MLS Rules.

DESCRIPTION
Occasionally, you may get a showing request from an appraiser or real estate licensee who isn’t an MLS user affiliated with one of our eKey reciprocity partners. So, we’ve enabled a new feature in your Supra eKey – Single Access!
Single Access allows listing agents on a case-by-case basis to invite the property owner, or out-of-area appraisers or real estate licensees to access a keybox at a specific date/time. Single Access offers:
-
Secure, limited, and non-transferable access
-
Access credentials delivered to the out-of-area licensee’s smartphone
-
Easy to view, modify and manage granted access within the Supra eKEY app
-
Out-of-area licensees have a “one-button” (i.e., Obtain Key) within the Supra eKEY app that provides easy access to obtain keys from Supra lockboxes.
To ensure our eKey holders limit the use of Single Access to authorized persons, the MLS Rules include the following:
Section 18.12.a. Supra’s Managed Access is available to any Participant or Subscriber Keyholder (i.e., listing agent) to provide access to the Keyholder’s keybox, provided the person to whom access is granted is the property owner or:
i. Holds an active real estate or appraiser license in the state where the property is located; and
ii. Is not an MLS Participant or Subscriber in this MLS or any MLS with whom Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® has e-Key reciprocity.
When granting Managed Access, Keyholder shall enter in the Supra system the name and contact information of the real person to whom access is being granted. Failure to abide by this Section 18.12.a. shall result in a:
i. Five hundred dollars ($500) for the first offense:
ii. Seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) for the second offense; and
iii. One thousand dollars ($1,000) for the third offense.
For any fourth or more violation, the offender shall appear before the MLS Committee for consideration of discipline to be imposed. Said discipline shall be limited to those outlined in Section 7 of hte MLS Rules.

Property Management 101: The Essentials course will be held IN PERSON.
When it comes to Residential Property Management – those outside the industry usually have one of two opinions: Opinion #1: "Property Managers are simply collecting rent and calling vendors for repairs – what an easy job!" Opinion #2: "Property Managers are dealing with crazy tenants, running toilets in the middle of the night, and all the weird laws they have to follow – what a hard job!" The truth is somewhere in the middle. In this course, we will go through the basic elements necessary for property management including the management and lease agreement, how to find new owner-clients, how to screen tenants, the tenant life cycle, understanding legal and fair housing issues, and how to deal with erratic tenants and owners. This class is ideal for those new to the industry and those who simply wish to have a better understanding of property management basics.
