The goal of the class is to help students refocus on the quality of service in listings. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021, real estate agents had it easy. Prices in North Carolina have increased by almost 20% annually, and many people who left the real estate business previously came back and jumped in for the money grab.
The National Association of Realtors reported an increase in membership to over 1.8 million Realtors® in the United States. Normally, that number is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million. As a result, the quality of service provided to home sellers diminished as agents could put a house on the market with years of deferred maintenance and at $25,000 to $50,000 over the actual value of the property and sell it in a weekend.
Learning to sell real estate in a down market, as both Steve and I did, made us better real estate agents. Now, facing a similar market as interest rates and inventories rise across the country, we thought it was a good time to create a class that focused on the quality of the process and the art of listing homes.
The residential version of this course was written by Brian Pate and is eligible for 4 hours of elective credit.
