A fun 30 Hour post ed for brokers?? It's possible!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Advantage

I just returned home from a five day 30 hour post education for brokers and I was pleasantly surprised!

In all honesty I was dreading class like the plague! But I had an awesome instructor, and I actually learned allot from his teaching.

The school I usually attend is taught by an instructor who teaches like someone who has never actually sold real estate but more like someone who has read about it!

My instructor for the 30 hours was Paul Bynum from Fayetteville, he was fascinating. The last two days were for brokers only and he broke us up in groups and had us design a real estate firm. We worked on this for two days and some of the ideas were incredible! I left thinking, wow why don't we have actual companies like the ones we designed in class! I learned allot and left energized instead of bored to tears!

So if you ever get a chance and your scheduling your continuing ed look up Mr. Bynum you will love him.

In my broker training class we also had to design a real estate company.  I took some of the ideas and use them in my current business plan.

I'm glad you came back enthused, Jennifer.  You can never learn too much.  When I got my broker's license, we had to do nothing, just pass the test.

Me too! That was a long drive but when you have someone to chit chat with it makes it easy!

I've had classes like that one.  They are refreshing, aren't they?  You know it was time well-spent.  :)
