What our students are saying:

This course kept my interest the whole time and I can actually use this information outside of real estate as well.
-Lisa M.

I love taking CE this way. I can fit it into my schedule much easier than sitting in class for 4 hours. Well done!
Patricia P.

This was a fantastic course, very well done and helpful not just with working with millennials, but all generational groups.
- Ann B

The best CE class (Beyond the CMA) I have had in 18 years in this business. This material gave me a ton of tools, then I was pleasantly surprised to also get a plan of action explaining how to utilize them! I know this will benefit my entire team and make us more effective. Finally CE for the “real” real estate world. Loved it!
- Adrienne C.

Excellent. Can’t wait to use the information. I’ve done some Ninja Selling classes and Absorption Rate is very important there. All the information in this class (Beyond the CMA) can be easily used to enhance everything I’ve done in the past and will make me more comfortable with the process and think it will also make the seller more comfortable.
- Debo C.

I was expecting to be bored as I had heard horror stories of On Line courses. I was astounded that I truly enjoyed the class. Julia is as interesting on video as she is in a live class.
