Continuing Education in Real Estate

Our goal is to maximize learning and minimize testing and tedium. All classes are taught from well-organized materials but we take time to answer your questions and try to cover what you need to know in your practice. Only the three-hour classes require tests and these are open-book; you get credit for the others just by attending. All courses are available to watch on DVD anytime during office hours. When you enroll, we'll set up a schedule of appointments that fits your schedule but encourages you to "get it done". Of course there is no charge to change appointments--finish as fast as you like or take up to a year.
