Hands-On Learning

Broker Night: Students Getting Jobs!

What are you waiting for?

Real estate sales agents have never been in higher demand. Every day is different in this exciting career. Whether you’re showing homes, writing offers or helping a seller scrape peeling paint, you will be building a career that provides financial security.

Real-world, experienced Instructors

The real estate instructors are considered the best in the profession. Each instructor has a minimum of 5 years of experience and some own brokerages.

“I’d like to thank our awesome instructors for doing such a crazy good job of making all this mind-numbing information fun and interesting. I really looked forward to going to class and will miss everyone! Thanks for all the love and support.“

Nicole Baker

“[I want] to recognize Brett Naisbitt’s positive influence over the entire Real Estate program, from providing key insights into the business to arranging for unique occasions like ‘Brokers Night,’ which was instrumental in opening up the opportunity to explore four different brokerages in person. I turned fifty years old this year, and due to a COVID-related layoff as a VP with an international bank last year, I was forced to reinvent my career, despite having 20 years of experience and a college degree. From day one in the program, Brett personally congratulated my on my new journey and expressed confidence in my ability to complete the program and succeed in the industry…. Each instructor has a different style and element of charisma that they bring to the program, rounding out the learning experience and connecting with a variety of students with varying interests and skill sets.”
