A COURTESY CHECKLIST!

Here are the Do's and Don'ts that real estate agents should remember when showing property.

DO:
*Knock first before entering a home.
*Leave your card on the kitchen counter so the seller knows you were there.
*Turn off all the lights and lock all doors.
*Call if you're unable to show up for any reason or if you'll be late.
*Return calls for feedback when asked.
*Report any problems that you see, such as leaky toilets, air conditioning dripping, or broken locks, to the listing agent.

DON'T:
*Wait until the last minute to schedule showings.
*Speak negatively about the property in front of an owner.
*Show up more than 15 minutes late.
*Park on the grass.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LICENSE******

The 2008 Legislature enacted a new section of law, ARS §41-1080, which requires licensing agencies, including the Department of Real Estate, to obtain proof of the license applicant's legal presence in the United States prior to issuing a license. This also applies to license renewals.

 Effective October 1, 2008, you will not be eligible to renew your license unless the Department of Real Estate receives proof of your legal presence in this country.

 Instructions to satisfy this requirement:

Send an email to legalpresence@azre.gov with the following information:

                        1. Your full name, as it appears on your license

2. Your license number

3. A scanned copy of one of the following documents:

 An Arizona driver's license issued after 1996 OR an Arizona nonoperating identification license.

A driver license issued by a state that verifies lawful presence in the US.
A birth certificate or delayed birth certificate issued in any state, territory or possession of the US
A US certificate of birth abroad.
A US passport.
A foreign passport with a US Visa.
An I-94 form with a photograph.
A US Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization document or a Refugee Travel document.
A US Certificate of Naturalization.
A US Certificate of Citizenship.
A tribal Certificate of Indian Blood.
A tribal or BIA Affidavit of Birth.

To ensure the document is received and processed in time for the Department to process your renewal timely we STRONGLY recommend you submit this information immediately. This requirement need only be completed once; after the information is entered in the Department's licensing database you will not need to re-submit proof again in the future.

 If you are unable to submit these documents via email to the Department, you may send a legible copy, via regular mail, with a cover letter advising the Department that you are providing the documentation to meet the requirements of ARS §41-1080 . The letter should include your license number and your name as it appears on your license.
