Online Continuing Education

By
Real Estate Agent with Pahoa Properties LLC

Since attending my first CRS class I decided to obtain my Accredited Buyer's Rep. designation. Since the course was not being offered at this time I decided to do the class online. As most of you know it is a two day class and also requires an elective course that is 6 hours. These two classes were the first online classes I have taken and I want to say I really enjoyed them.

I learn best by reading so for me it was very convenient to sit down in front of my computer and have at it. My mind in the afternoon becomes tired and sleepy after lunch so this way I could take the course when it was best for me and on my schedule. I am thinking it doesn't get better than this....

The way the course is set up is in units. It is easy to scroll through and take notes although you really did not need to take notes for the ABR class as they are included and easy to print out. I found the information to be very valuable and I think it is a great format. One of the things that you do as part of the class is participate in a forum where everyone shares their ideas and answers to questions about the material being presented and what is so cool is that they are Realtors from all over the United States and a few were out of the country. I got to see the differences, state to state how agents do real estate in their area.

All in all, I think these classes and the format bring alot of value to the table and are a great way to continue olr education and knowledge of real estate and the beauty ot it is the avaiability of the information and ease in completing the courses. I highly recommend online classes as another way to sharpen skills and get exposure to new ways of doing business and other creative ideas.

I love online courses because they let me go quicker where I understand something and slow down when I need a little extra time. And the flexibility to 'attend' at any hour of the day or night can't be beat. Glad you wrote this post ... it reminded me I've got a couple of online classes I need to finish!
