Win-Win does not mean equal. This is important to understand in a real estate transaction because our clients don’t necessarily see win-win as a positive. But the agent knows that for at least 30 days we are in a relationship with the other party and they need to be happy or they will cause trouble for our client. So how does the agent create the feeling of winning for the other party while still promoting the best interest of our client? That’s what you will learn in this continuing education course, Winning at Win-Win. The agent will discover a step-by-step formula for guiding his/her client through a successful negotiation. The benefit is all parties achieving their goals. A buyer client transaction is used to illustrate the process.

How would your business be impacted if you didn’t have any overpriced listings? Sellers that believe their houses are better are a drain to our wallets, our emotions, and to our business. Learning how to present a market study in an influential way is an incredibly important skill. Using information from what I learned in listening to 99 list presentations from the strongest agents, talking to listing gurus, and interviewing consumer psychologists I created this program. It teaches teaches the real estate professional how to build a market study and present that market study in an effective manner so that you can have the greatest chance of gaining an overpriced listing.

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.
