Those who are managing or working for a family business in real estate will benefit from this course, which features case studies and guest speakers. Topics covered in this course include family versus nonfamily business characteristics, ownership and succession, conflict resolution, sibling rivalry, compensation, estate planning, and best practices and emerging trends in real estate family business management.
