Staying Up With Real Estate

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HomeRome Realty 410-530-2400 311291

John Meussner asked the following:

 

'OUTSIDE OF required continuing education, how often and what type of education or training do you pursue?'

 

And here is my response:

I go ahead and sign up for just about every class that looks the least bit interesting.

If my schedule permits, I will take the course. ( if it's good, I stay till the end, if not, I leave)

I read every interesting RE article I can get my hands on.

Always have more CE credits than needed.

I call anyone who seems to know more than me and ask questions. Each phone call with professionals is a way of learning and staying up with so many topics. 

Each RE transaction is like taking another course...always something to learn. I stay in touch with former trainers from Floyd Wickman, Mike and Mary Pallen, and Gary Sisson. I belong to Maryland Real Estate Educators Association.

Writing, reading, and commenting on AR is yet another way to stay educated. And look at the range of topics we've had every Tuesday for the past two years.

 My weekly radio show keeps me on my game. Never know what questions I may get on air live and more during the week. And weekly Zooms, including but not limited to AR. I also call a John Meussner when I have a lending question. Every day is something new to learn and pursue.

Good morning Margaret - that is lifelong learning and we grow stale if we don't continue.  You radio show keeps you sharp and up to date.  The same is true with my teaching of classes to newer HR professionals.  I tell them I give knowledge but also learn from them.

Ed Silva, It is easy to sign up, see if a class is interesting, and choose whether it's worth staying. The online offerings are a great time saver.

It is so true! NEVER STOP learning! There are so many classes offered and we can choose to take the opportunities or do the bare minimum to get by to renew our licenses! I always have way more credits accumulated. It's what keeps us on top of our game. You are an inspiration..always sharing your findings and ways to do things!

Love this post Margaret.  In this litigious world we live in today I don't feel I can ever learn too much.  Also like you said, every transaction is a learning experience.  Love the Morgan Freeman quote too
