We believe that knowledge and education are the key to a successful Real Estate career. We are proud to offer a variety of Real Estate and Marketing classes. We offer these classes regularly at our offices, the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors Offices, or we can bring these classes to your brokerage.
All courses are designed to fit into a one hour time frame, but are all given as a round table discussion, so the time limit will be determined by the interaction during the class.
