Course Description
Ontario homeowners and homebuyers have been devastated by current conditions in the insurance industry. Insurers are refusing to continue to insure homes as they have always been insured before. In some cases, insurance costs are dramatically higher than expected, and in others, insurance is available only after considerable upgrading to the home. All of this creates an economic hardship for homeowners at a time when they are most stretched financially.

As real estate professionals representing buyers and sellers, registrants should be aware of how insurance requirements can affect a transaction. This course is designed to provide practitioners with an understanding of insurance issues in today's marketplace and how they can affect the decisions made by buyers and sellers.

• Recognize why insurance companies are being cautious
