Knowledge is Power

The Real Estate Profession requires constant learning and participation in
educational courses to avoid potential costly mistakes and to be a
successful Realtor 速. The minimum requirements created by the state of
Florida are simply not enough to correctly do your job.

HOW DO WE GET REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO LEARN WHEN ITS NOT
REQUIRED?
Real Estate Agents are paid based on their service and are hired for their
knowledge and expertise. If they can work more efficiently they can
also increase their sales.

Almost 30% of Homeowners feel they can do the job of a Real Estate
Agent. Acquiring skills and techniques that cant be taught online
make your position more valuable and less replaceable.

part time in the profession. Continuing their education and knowledge
is vital to the success and well being of their clients and all parties
involved in a transaction.
