Property inspections are one of the most critical—and often most misunderstood—parts of the real estate transaction process. For Florida real estate agents, having a clear understanding of inspections can be the difference between a smooth closing and a deal gone sideways. That’s why the Florida Property Inspections CE course is such a valuable elective when it comes time to renew your license.
At License EDU, we offer this course as part of our easy, online Florida Real Estate Continuing Education package. Let’s take a closer look at what the course covers and why it matters for Florida real estate professionals.
Why Property Inspections Matter in Florida Real Estate
Florida’s hot and humid climate can be tough on homes—especially when it comes to roofing, HVAC systems, moisture damage, and foundational issues. Understanding the home inspection process allows agents to better serve their buyers and sellers by setting proper expectations, recognizing potential red flags, and guiding negotiations more effectively.
Buyers depend on agents to explain inspection reports in plain language. Sellers rely on agents to help prepare their property in advance. When you’re equipped with inspection knowledge, you become an even more trusted advisor on both sides of the transaction.
