The Course Formally Known as "Quick Start"

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Wright Realty

Phew!  What a class! I feel like I have been Ed - U - Ca - Ted!  "Quick Start" was a good name for the class. The first full day after the class you really feel like getting started right away.  Maybe partly because you sit for the drive, you sit for the instruction and you sit for the drive again, for two days in a row, two weeks in a row. But boy it helps to have a great instructor like Anita Hill.  She was concise and funny and offered alot of new perspective.

The class is officially called NHAR REPS 101 & 102.  It's part of the GRI designation.  And maybe it should be a required class before you can get your license.  I really wish that I had taken it in my first year.  It gives you all the info you need to start off on the right foot.  For instance, it walks you through what you would normally think is obvious.  Things like compiling a database or creating a script for the phone or a checklist for interviews with buyers and sellers.  These are all obvious to me now, but when I first started, I was so overwhelmed that these obvious things were all a big blur. 

Consequently, now I feel like I'm starting anew with a fresh outlook and new motivation.  Combine that with the current Buffini course I'm taking and how can I lose?  Even the slow market is a help to me right now, so I can get all of this new stuff in place.  If you have the chance to take this course, you really should no matter how long you've been in the business.

It does help to keep learning in this slow market.  I haven't got my GRI yet.  I need the time to take the classes

A solid foundation can be the difference between the success and failure of just about any agent. Thanks for the info, I"ll look into this class for any new agents I may come across.
