Property Inspection Red Flags
4 HR course
PDF Correspondence Course

Real estate agents are not expected to serve as home inspectors, but they should recognize visible warning signs that may affect a property’s safety, value, insurability, financing, or transaction.

This course equips Tennessee real estate professionals to recognize common property red flags, communicate concerns without exceeding their expertise, recommend appropriate professional evaluations, and document inspection-related conversations effectively.

Course topics include:

• Structural and foundation warning signs
• Roof, drainage, grading, and water-intrusion concerns
• Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical-system red flags
• Mold, radon, asbestos, lead-based paint, and other environmental hazards
• Septic systems and rural-property considerations
• Inspection-period negotiations and transaction risks
• Disclosure responsibilities and professional boundaries
• Neutral client communication and proper documentation
• Agent liability, broker supervision, and risk reduction

This self-paced PDF correspondence course includes the course material and final examination. Upon successful completion, students receive four hours of Tennessee continuing education credit.
