The Supreme Court is the State of Idaho’s court of last resort. If a case goes to the Supreme Court after summary judgment occurs, the Supreme Court does not retry the case. Because the law is different in every state, Idaho courts reviewing a similar case may rule a different way on the same issue. Idaho courts are not bound to follow case precedent in other jurisdictions. But sometimes, these cases are instructive.

Reviewing and understanding these cases will help to expand your knowledge on recent case law updates, offering important takeaways that can help Idaho licensees to develop appropriate risk reduction techniques.

Idaho legislation is designed to protect consumers in real estate transactions. As business and economics constantly change, so must the laws. Most recently, bills were passed that impacted

Idaho Code Title 54 Chapter 20 regarding the definitions related to Idaho real estate law, Title 63 on revenue and taxation, and Title 67, which covers state government and state affairs.

The IREC provides a series of guidelines as supplements to the state statutes. These guidelines are the Commissioner’s explanation of license law and rules. They are meant to help licensees better understand the laws by providing practical and meaningful advice. These guidelines are not new laws, but rather they are an agency interpretation of existing laws.

Professionalism and etiquette are important in all your business interactions, as they can benefit your career and help increase your earning power. Being a professional means that you are conscientious, courteous, and respectful, not just to your customers and clients but also to your co-workers and other real estate professionals that you do business with.

“How much do you think it is worth?” This may be the most frequently asked question in real estate. Every day a client or customer will ask about the fair price or fair rental for a property, and an agent must be prepared to answer knowledgeably. Some of the most important services a listing agent can provide are to be familiar with how the worth of property is determined and to be able to explain it to the client.

Most homeowners know, within a range, the value of their home. Many are unaware that they have used some of the same techniques the listing agent and the professional appraiser used in determining the value of the home. For example, the homeowner may know the selling prices of their neighbor’s house and the house down the street. They have added to—or subtracted from—the value of their own house, depending on amenities, location, and condition, and have determined a fairly accurate value.
