Cost: Free to Scottsdale REALTORS® Members | $20.00 for Non-Members

Learn about home renovation mortgage programs when the house a client wants may be outdated or in need of upgrades. We will cover the various types of renovation programs available and discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as the existing market issues that renovation programs can remedy. You will learn the range of how renovation can be used aesthetically for cosmetic improvement or it can facilitate a handicap-accessible home for a consumer with a disability and many possibilities in between:

• Describe characteristics of the renovation programs, terminology and characteristics of each, setting expectations for the desired outcome
• Provide an understanding to the processes and timeframes involved in preparing the forms, contractor validation process, written estimates, draw process and post-closing actions
• Appraisal methodology of “as-is” versus “subject to” and identify the appraisal circumstances of the renovation market
• Identify scenarios where renovation financing would be beneficial or needed.

Please notify us 7 days in advance if you have any disability that requires special services or access.
Fees will be refunded less a $25 service charge upon verbal notification up to 48 hours prior to class, after that fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
