Introduction
All About Addenda is a course about – you guessed it! – the various standard form addenda to the 2-T Offer to Purchase and Contract (“2-T”). Although these forms do not address all additions that a buyer or seller may want to make part of the 2-T, they certainly address many of the most common issues.
Licensees typically have a solid working knowledge of the 2-T itself but, due to the fact that the various addenda are very much transaction-specific, may not be as familiar with these sometimes incredibly integral and important forms. This course is designed to change that disconnect.
