Course Description
This one-hour course reviews the changes to the 2026 Minnesota 
REALTORS® forms effective August 1, 2026, with a focus on practical application for Minnesota real estate licensees. The course covers key updates to residential and commercial transaction forms, including purchase agreements, amendments, common interest community disclosures, well water inspection language, seller disclosure updates, solar power system disclosures, agent material fact disclosures, referral agreements, and related risk-management considerations.

Licensees will learn how the updated forms affect transaction documentation, disclosure obligations, contingency language, timeline calculation, and broker/agent workflow. The course is designed to help agents identify when to use updated or newly created forms, understand the purpose of the changes, and reduce avoidable transaction risk through better form selection and documentation practices.
