The Excel Queen

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Watson Realty

 

I just completed a six week class at the Board of Realtors on Excel. It was very informative and the instructor was great. I was a little overwhelmed at first because of my challenged computer skills, but I quickly caught on. The reason I initially signed up for the class is that we started a virtual tour and web design company. I needed to be able to keep track of sales, expenses, etc. My sister told me the best way to do this in a simple way was an Excel spreadsheet. I thought ok, what am I supposed to do? My partner told me to call the BOR and find out when the next Excel class started. It happened to be a couple weeks later. I think all local Realtors should take advantage of the education opportunities at the Board of Realtors. It was only $10 per class for professional instruction. I am now the Excel Queen...just kidding! However, I know enough to do the books and have a good knowledge of the process. I am signing up for more classes soon. I think the extra computer skills will be great for my Real Estate business, as well as, the Virtual Tour Company.

Hi Beth,

 That EXCEL class sounds great, I'd love to learn more about that and certainly virtual tours and web design.  Our local board offers many interesting classes as well, and you're right, you may as well take them when they're available!  I believe our local board is going to offer CRS and e-Pro later this year.  Market's slowed a bit, so we can just get more education and be better prepared for when it turns good again (hopefully soon).  Thanks,  Nadine Blakely, RE/MAX Lynchburg, VA

Excel is wonderful.  Do all my tax stuff, commission reports, and numerous other tasks.  It is easy to use and works great.

The trick with classes like this is you have to use what you learn or you forget it all too quickly.
