Accessory Dwelling Units Continuing Education and Professional Development Q&A
Join CCIAOR and instructor Kate Lanagan MacGregor for Massachusetts' newest continuing education course: RE117R25 – Protected Use Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) with a Q&A session with Backyard ADUs and The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod immediately following the class.
Big changes are here: Massachusetts’ new ADU law makes it easier than ever for homeowners to add Accessory Dwelling Units—and REALTORS® need to know how to advise clients. This brand-new CE course will give you the knowledge and confidence to stay ahead of the curve including what ADU by-right regulations mean, key requirements to building an ADU, how they can impact property values, rental considerations, and what your responsibilities are as a REALTOR® when advising your clients about ADUs.
Bonus: Stay after CE for an exclusive Lunch n' Learn Q&A session with Backyard ADUs and The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod!
