Creating Landscape Curb Appeal on a Budget #49598: The goal of this course is to provide the tools to add curb appeal to a home in an economical and expedient way. Three different price points will be explored; no cost, small budget, and large budget. The no cost approach covers basic pruning and tidying of a landscape and lawn. The small budget option combines the no cost approach with mulching and adding annual color near the entryway. The large budget option allows for additional annual color and possible addition or replacement of shrubs. Agents will also receive landscape plans they can distribute to clients that will help with design as well as plant selection for different seasons that will create “curb appeal”.

Texas Fence Law #48915: Legal issues related to fences are common across Texas. This course will provide an overview of Texas fence law and will discuss common fence related issues found in both rural and urban settings. Topics covered will include the difference between open range and closed range, the legal duties owed in closed range areas, how to determine if property is located within an open or closed range area, the law related to building or removing fences, and the implications of fences encroaching on the property of another. Real estate agents will benefit from this course as they will be trained on how to identify fence related issues that could create issues during the sale/purchase of property. Identifying these issues will enable these problems to be remedied prior to listing/purchase.

Breakfast will be provided.
