May 11th, 2008 - Listed below are the last four of the twenty-one real estate
business specialties I wanted to share with you to set your minds, to ferment
and to bring about that paradigm shift in understanding real estate as it is
today. You have received a wealth of information.
By no means do these exhaust the knowledge of this complex industry. Technology, for example, continues to
dominate our world and just about every aspect of real estate and requires
strategic training.
e-PRO®
e-PRO® is a revolutionary training program presented entirely online to certify real estate agents and brokers as Internet Professionals. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® is the first major trade group to offer certification for online professionalism. e-PRO® is not just about technology - it's about how you can leverage your most powerful asset, your people-skills, into doing more business on the Internet. e-PRO® gives you: - Exhaustive Internet Training - Unique Competitive Advantage - Professional Distinction Many of the other business specialties also require intensive technology training and knowledge. REPAsm, Real Estate Professional Assistantsm REPA is a comprehensive two-day certificate course that provides an intensive introduction to the real estate business and to the specific ways support staff can become valuable assets to their employers. Every administrative employee in the brokerage office, from listing secretary to the personal assistant, will benefit tremendously from this quick-start program. In the real estate brokerage the very survival of that business may depend on having such personnel. Transnational Referral Certification The goal of this certification offered by the National Association of REALTORS® is to prepare real estate professionals to make and receive compensated referrals using the Transnational Referral system developed by NAR and the International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA). Students will learn how to integrate international referrals, resulting in increased income, into their business plans. When you are involved in an international referral, as a referring or receiving agent, the Transnational Referral Certification demonstrates to other real estate professionals that you are well versed in the procedures of the Transnational Referral system, have pledged to follow a code of conduct in business dealings, and expect that compensation, paid in a timely manner, will be an integral part of the transaction. At Home with Diversity Certification A ground-breaking professional education initiative designed to provide the real estate professionals with training and tools to expand their businesses as well as homeownership opportunities for more citizens. AHWD certification relays to the public that those certified have been professionally trained in, and are sensitive to a wide range of cultural issues inviting a wider volume of business from a greater variety of cultures.
