Houses: Why Bad Things Happen to Good Houses – OnDemand Course (6-Hour)
Houses: Why Bad Things Happen to Good Houses is a 6-hour OnDemand course that helps real estate professionals understand how and why common home problems develop—and what to watch for in the field. The course covers issues like water intrusion, foundation and structural movement, roof failures, improper grading, mechanical and HVAC breakdowns, ventilation problems, and conditions that may lead to mold or hidden damage.
Through clear explanations, photos, and real-world examples, you’ll learn to recognize warning signs during listings and showings, ask better questions, and know when to recommend further inspections by qualified experts. This course does not train you to be an inspector; instead, it gives you the knowledge to spot red flags, communicate risks to buyers and sellers, manage expectations, and reduce liability. Ideal for both new and experienced agents, this convenient OnDemand format lets you build confidence in evaluating property condition while earning 6 hours of continuing education credit.
