“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 ®. 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 IT’S 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 can’t be taught online
make your position more valuable and less replaceable.
It is not an unknown fact that there are many REALTORS® who only work 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.
