Today’s buyers and sellers are working in a market that doesn’t look like it did a few years ago. Prices are up, inventory is tight, and the “usual” path to homeownership doesn’t work for everyone anymore. That’s why options like shared equity programs, down payment assistance, co-buying, owner financing, and alternative loan programs are popping up in real transactions—and the agents who understand them are the ones keeping deals alive.
In this three-hour elective course, you’ll get a clear, practical breakdown of what these pathways are, when they tend to show up, and how to talk about them in a way that helps clients without putting you in the role of a lender or attorney. You’ll also learn smart habits for working with the right pros and guiding creative transactions with confidence.
