Educate for the Future

We’re well into the fourth quarter and like many businesses, we’re already thinking of 2010. It’s been a rough year for some in the real estate industry, while many others are reporting one of their best years yet! Many will say it’s all in the preparation. RE/MAX is preparing for the New Year with more educational opportunities for agents.

In the third quarter, RE/MAX unveiled its partnership with the CE Shop. Now RE/MAX agents can now get MCE course credit online through RE/MAX University’s partnership with the CE Shop, Inc. RE/MAX agents receive a 20% course discount, (and, as a little bonus, are automatically entered into a drawing to win FREE MCE for life!)

This strategic partnership with The CE Shop is vital in providing RE/MAX Associates with a better way to do business and serve their clients. RE/MAX is fortunate to have associates with more advanced professional designations than agents from any other national real estate network and this partnership will allow us to give our agents even more opportunities to be successful The CE Shop uses EASYTrack to help professional real estate agents manage their online education, which includes courses on real estate appraisals, the basics of real estate taxation, the mortgage process, foreclosures, the environmental movement in real estate and more.



To all this we’ve added an alliance with REALTOR® University, the National Association of REALTORS’ (NAR) Online Education Destination, to give members of the global real estate network, access to an additional 400 hours of online designation, certification and professional continuing education.
Combined with RE/MAX International’s industry-leading education platform, RE/MAX University (RU), RE/MAX Affiliates are positioned to remain the most trained and educated real estate agents today.

Through REALTOR® University, NAR offers a variety of professional designations and certifications which uniquely position real estate agents to be experts in certain niches of the market. RE/MAX Associates can sign up for several of these designation courses like e-Buyer, ABRM, Real Estate Professional Assistant (REPA) and more, and receive 5% off the total cost of the designation. RE/MAX University also delivers educational programs to its Associates through classroom training, online streaming video, downloads, conferences and via RE/MAX Satellite Network (RSN), the company’s exclusive satellite TV network.

Of course, we’ll be packing the schedule with more great speakers, seminars, Free Power Start and Technology Tour classes throughout the New Year (and it’s not to late to catch some of them in 2009). Just check www.remaxtexas.com/education for everything you need in Realtor education, and be sure to leverage the resources available through RE/MAX Satellite Network and Agent Training on Demand via RE/MAX University on RE/MAX Mainstreet. When 2010 hits, RE/MAX agents will be ready!
