The popular series of seven Questions and Answers brochures is undergoing expansion along with new cover designs and some text changes. The Real Estate Commission started the series in the early 1990s.
A new topic, Questions and Answers on: Home Inspections, will be available. It will discuss the various facets of the home inspections process for the prospective homeowner and is being published by the Commission in partnership with the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board.
Later this year, a brochure on subdivisions and planned communities is planned for publication as part of the series.
New Agency Brochure
Being phased out is Questions and Answers on: Who Real Estate Agents Represent. The new Working With Real Estate Agents, a copy of which appears in the center of this Bulletin, takes its place.
New cover designs using bold, bright colors will differentiate the Q&A brochures from a distance when they are displayed in a rack in your brokerage offices. In addition, some minor text changes are being made. Questions and Answers on: Purchasing Coastal Real Estate in North Carolina will contain more emphasis on the details of construction features best utilized to reduce or prevent storm damage.
Printing Underway
Questions and Answers on: Condos & Townhouses is being revised to incorporate information from the recently enacted Planned Communities Act.
Five brochures are being printed now: Fair Housing, Tenant Security Deposits, Coastal Real Estate, Home Inspections and Condos & Townhouses. Only the cover is being changed on the first two.
Renting Residential Real Estate must await further depletion of inventory. Its Spanish language counterpart, Preguntas y Respuestas sobre Alquiler de Inmuebles para Vivienda, already bears the new cover design.
