To better accommodate agent schedules, we are now offering our Mentor Series and Real Estate Live! Series (aka Reality Real Estate) as Self Study Classes here at the office.

Both of these series are DVD based, and you may check out the materials (through Jim) during normal business hours to be watched here at the office. DVD’s can be viewed on your laptop computer (at the office), or on the TV in the training room. Unfortunately, we cannot allow the training DVD’s to leave the building. The DVD’s run from 18 minutes to 1 hour and 47 minutes in length.

There are a total of 22 different classes to choose from (see course descriptions below). Most of the classes have handout materials and an audio training CD that you may keep. You will also receive a credit towards your GRA Designation for each class you complete. Complete a total of any 12 classes and you will receive your GRA!

Just let Jim know which class you would like to schedule, and he will prepare the materials you’ll need. If you want to take a class on the weekend, let Jim know by Friday afternoon, and he’ll leave the materials with the front desk.

PS - our TRA Series is typically offered as a live training on the first Tuesday of each month at noon. There are 6 different classes covering the fundamentals of all contracts, agency agreements, counteroffers, disclosures, amendments, addendums, and other paperwork. These classes also count towards your GRA designation. See Announcements on the company website for schedule and course content. Come join us!

Take advantage of these FREE trainings to boost your business!
