It's Offical I'm an ABR and SRES Instructor!

As some of you know I've been working my way through the instructor certification process required by REBAC to become an ABR and SRES instructor.

It took a while but I have completed both the required one day course in DC and the two day course in St Louis and the dreaded tests.

Thankfully I passed both tests and now I'm finally "certified"...YIPPEE!

ABR and SRES are both National Association of REALTORS designations. They are multi-day courses and are offered across the country.

I'm very willing to travel and my rates are great...so keep me in mind if you're looking for a REBAC instructor.

I'm pretty excited about this as I already teach some of the GRI courses for my state as well as their 4 day new agent training program called Quick Start.

I have been involved in real estate training for many years at many levels. In fact earlier this year Jay and I opened our very own small training center in Hampstead NH.

I think walking the walk...working in real estate sales these past 23 years has really helped me in my teaching. I can relate to what my students go through and what they need to do to survive in real estate on a daily basis.

My practical skills bring a real world touch to all my classes, while Pie in the sky is nice and pretty, real world makes the real difference.

Being able to add ABR and SRES to my list of course offerings is really exciting for me. I'm ready to expand beyond the New England States. How very exciting that is!

Congrats Monika!!!!! what an accomplishment. I really appreciate those with knowledge and experience who dedicate their time and energy to help teach others. Great job!! Best of success to you!!

Way to go, Monika!

Thank you so much Kimberly. I'm pretty excited about it and nervous at the same time. Now I just need to get hired.

Thanks Chris!!!

Monika, call the Sun City, AZ board of realtors, LOL. I flew out to PHX to get my SRES and it's a deed restricted 55+ community.

Thanks for the tip Chris. I'll look into it!

Hey Monika - YEE-HAA!!!! WAY TO GO!!! I know that was alot of work for you to get that, and all the experience you have to go along with it - loved all the links you included in your post to show you really do walk the walk and talk the talk.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Ann
Congratulations Monika!!

Congrats Honey, A lot of hard work for sure. I'll be rooting for you.

There is a whole city called The Villages in Central Florida that is all 55+, too.

Thank you Ann....I love your YEE_HAA!!!!! That is how I felt when I saw my test results!!! YEE-HAA!!!

Thank you Jay :)

I couldn't have done with out your support!

Man...Chris Florida is the place to be for SRES agents!!! I need to look into the Florida requirements...maybe teach down there.

Congratulations Monika. The real estate company I work for here in Canada is the only one offering the SRES program and I plan to take it in the early part of next year. It's not cheap but it will provide me with additional skills when dealing with retirees and future retirees.

That`s wonderful news... I`m sure you have tons of fans out there in NH....

Thank you so much Wayne. I found the course to be very beneficial.The 55 and older is a huge portion of the population.

Scott...Thanks so much for stopping by.

Monika,

A big congratulations to you, that is quite an accomplishment!!! It takes a special person to be able to teach people this business. Thank you for your insightful posts, I will keep reading....Have a great weekend.

Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment, Monika!

Congratulations Monika -- I know that you will add a lot to our profession whether you are training newbies or those who have some experience. Good luck to you -- and we need more educators like yourself.

Monika - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

You will do well. I just know it! :)

Monica,

I am in the middle of SRES right now. Took day one this past Saturday and in two weeks will take day two and the exam

The agents you teach are fortunate to have you! I bet you are an awesome instructor.

Congratulations! We are proud of you!!

David...Thank you so much! Now the real excitement begins!

Carla...Thanks for the offer, I'll contact you.

Margaret...You'll have to let me know how you like the class and who your instructor is. I took my Instructor SRES course in St Louis and it was all new...a completely revamped course. I can't wait to get out in the field and present it. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Monika, The instructors are Sally Snowberger and Anne Hruby.

Do you know Sally?

Anne, a wonderful instructor, and I go way back. She taught Fast Start when I started RE in 1990.

Margaret,

I don't know Sally or Anne. I'm sure they are both excellent. I bet your Fast Start is much like the Quick Start program I teach for our state association. let me know how you like the SRES when you've finished the program.

We will talk after I finish the program.

Monika, CONGRATULATIONS on achieving your dreams! What a gorgeous training facility! You have a lot to be proud of!

Congratulations Monika! I'm sure this represents a LOT of hard work to get your training center put together. Maybe you & Jay can put your logo on the side of the RV and travel around the country together!

Thank you so much Linda. My dream is a reality, thanks so much for stopping by.

I like that idea Sue...the traveling RVing teacher! Thanks so much for reading my post.

Monika congratulation!!! you are so right having worked as a Realtor you can bring the real life good and bad stories to class to drive the points home. Best wishes with the new courses.

Congratulations Monika! I took Curtis Hall's ABR class many many many years ago - in fact, it was one of the very first classes offered back when buyer's agents were almost unheard of and we were still doing subagency. I alos have my SRES which is an interesting study. I would have love to have you as an instructor! I'm glad I found this. I will certainly keep you in mind if I hear of anyone looking for a REBAC instructor here in Connecticut.

Thank you Linda. I am pretty thrilled to have completed the instructor program. Connecticut is not that far away so you never know. Thanks!
