4 Hours
This Hawaii Real Estate Commission 2015-2016 Core Course consists of two sections. The first section addresses law updates for 2015 and covers bills that were passed by the Hawaii State Legislature during that year. The second section covers condominiums--creation and structure.

4 Hours
This course focuses on the laws and issues related to condominiums, along with a summary of new real estate laws enacted in Hawaii.

Condominium development and conversions are a strong sector of Hawaii's real estate industry. However, there is often a degree of confusion—among licensees as well as clients—as to what constitutes a "condominium." This course will help eliminate any lingering confusion by walking through the appropriate statutes and requirements related to condominiums.

In addition, legislative updates have been included. Developed within days of many of these bills becoming law, this course provides licensees with an overview of those changes most pertinent to the Hawaii real estate industry. Bills that will interest most licensees are featured, covering a range of topics including transient accommodations tax, historic property reviews, domestic violence, medical marijuana, residential landlord-tenant close, and multiple others.

This 4-hour course is Part A of the Hawaii Real Estate Commission's 8-hour mandatory core course for 2015 and 2016.

Course highlights include:

• Creation of a condominium, including legal requirements and documentation.
• Structure and use of condominium, including different types.
• Converting structures to condominium status.
• The difference between common element and limited common element expenses.
• Developer's public report, the requirements for initial sales, and sales to owner-occupants.
• Developer's public report v. 508D.
• Seller's real property disclosure statement and documentation for re-sales.
• 5 House and 6 Senate bills relating to the real estate industry.
• Activities and examples to seal in the new information and frame it in everyday context.

4 Hours
In this course, you will have the opportunity to consider condominiums from a governing standpoint. Many laypersons who have been elected to Boards and charged with governing condominium associations tend to have very little experience with fiduciary matters and do not understand their fiduciary duty to the homeowners. This lack of experience and understanding can create governance problems.

This course reviews what constitutes the "association" what its responsibilities are. In addition, we will look at how Hawaii law and legal documents related to the project give the association certain rights over individual owners but also impose certain obligations on the association to act in the best interest of its unit owners.

This 4-hour course is Part B of the Hawaii Real Estate Commission's 8-hour mandatory core course for 2015 and 2016.

Course highlights include:

• Creation of a condominium's governing structure
• Authority and responsibility of the association and its Board of Directors
• The types of meetings related to condominium governance
• Requirements related to the association's records, and the procedures to access these records
• Budgets and reserves and how assessments are authorized and calculated
• Consequences when an assessment is not paid, and the right of the association to collect
• Mediation, arbitration, and litigation for dispute resolution
• Regulations related to pets, smoking, parking stalls, unit modifications
• A look at issues related to aging in place in a condominium setting
• New legislation effecting the real estate industry
• Activities and examples to seal in the new information and frame it in everyday context.
