Written by experts in the field (pun intended), Victor Khong and Michelle Wong, Rural Real Estate Essentials takes REALTORS^® from BC’s concrete jungles to its more natural terrains and focuses on topics relevant to REALTORS^®, buyers and sellers in rural areas.

The course covers numerous specialized topics that REALTORS^® need to know when working in rural BC, including:

• working with rural titles,
• zoning and permitted land use,
• riparian areas,
• the Islands Trust,
• owner-built homes,
• insurance for rural properties,
• and more!

By the end of this course, learners will be aware of the resources and tools used by rural REALTORS^®, be privy to clauses used in rural real estate transaction documents, and know how to identify and manage risks associated with rural real estate.

Hosted on CREA’s training hub, the course is an accredited Professional Development Program (PDP) offering, which means REALTORS^® in BC will earn three accredited PDP hours when they finish the course.
