CRS Class Instructor, Frank Serio is a Hit!

By
Real Estate Agent with Liberty Homes RS-#62825

After procrastinating for ...years (yes, years) my broker finally ‘talked me into' going for my Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)  designation. I had always been one to say that it's not the designation that matters but the performance of each and every one of us in the Real Estate Profession. 

I mean, I can have as many designations following my name that is possible although it will be how it is implemented into my business that will make the difference.

CRS class Honolululu Country ClubAfter spending all day in CRS class yesterday (and today is another day as well) at Honolulu Country Club I was re-motivated to implement all I learned in this first class into what I have already. I needed more education and  I really needed to step out of my box and get an "aha" moment to get me pumped up to continue on with my business with a renewed outlook.

I can never stop learning lest I become stagnant.

Frank Serio, CRS of RE-MAX by the Sea in Bethany Beach, DE is the CRS Instructor for CRS 201: Listing Strategies and I have never been in a class ALL DAY where I was sponging up all the information that was given. He really made the class fun, interesting and he is very knowledgeable and creative with his ideas and I woke up this morning raring to go once again for an all day session. If you all have a chance to get into one of his classes (regardless if you're going for CRS or not) I strongly suggest to attend one.

I was impressed by the instruction of the class and that can make all the difference in the world.

He was a hit with this agent indeed!

I feel that it's a culmination of the person AND the information that makes me stay focused.

Sally - I know Frank fairly well. Just was at the CRS 111 Class and have taken 2 others with him. Definitely a star instructor - if you have a chance to take a CRS class with him DO IT.

I will definitely keep him in mind for my husband. I tell you, I wouldn't mind going either if I got a trip to HI out of the deal - what a gorgeous place!

A good teacher or instructor can make all the difference in the world. There are some that will put you right to sleep you know.

Hi Sally - I think we should never stop learning, and sometimes a class can re-energize us and make us look at our business in a different way - especially with a great instructor!

Aloha Sally,

So glad to hear you're taking the CRS designation courses. Marlene tells me Frank was here in So Cal last week, sounds like he has a pretty nice teaching schedule.

Good luck on your designation!!!

Sally, 

I really LOVED all of the CRS classes I took to get my designation.  Now, I am still going because they are just that good with amazing instructors.  

Glad you had a great experience, but I am not surprised. 

All the best, Michelle

Sally, I think it's always wonderful to ear another designation--it does set  you apart...or rather I should say USING it is what sets  you apart! Congratulations!

Sally, if the class motivated you to implement what you learned and to improve your business, then it was well worth the time you spent there.  I hope you follow through.

Sally, congrats on getting started on your CRS.  I've been putting it off myself for too long.  I just took a 7 hour class which I can use towards the CRS.  I may just look into taking advantage of that.

Good luck!

I tell you what folks....it also renewed my outlook that there are great instructors out there too! Now THAT is something.

Frank got a "frank alert" and he checked this post out...great how that works as well :)
