Fall 2022 Real Estate Courses

Leave a comment

I’ll be teaching two! These are considered “blended” courses. That simply means that you study a portion of the material online, independently. Your independent study is supplemented by mandatory workshops. Many describe it as “the best of both worlds!”

The Sales Agent Course is the “getting started course” — one of the requirements of qualifying for a Maine Real Estate License. The Associate Broker Course is taken after you are licensed as a Sales Agent.

Sales Agent Course

In-person workshops start on Saturday, October 15, 2022, meeting for four consecutive Saturdays. You should be registered at least one week prior to the first workshop to complete prework. Study on your own during the week, then join me and your fellow students in the classroom for four action-packed workshops. In just about a month you can complete the 55-hour pre-license course.

Associate Broker Course

Starting on Friday, October 14, 2022, there are four consecutive in-person workshops. You study the concepts and topics by yourself, then come together with other learners and me for four workshops to collaborate on case studies, solve problems, and discuss the real-life issues you face as a licensee. You should be registered at least one week before the first workshop to complete your prework.

It’s that time! Well, not quite… first we have to enjoy the holidays. But for those who like to plan ahead, you should probably know that I’ll be teaching some real estate courses in the near future. Maybe one of these courses should be in your future!

The Sales Agent Course is for those who want to become licensed and get started in the real estate business. The Associate Broker Course is for those who have been sales agents and are now ready to move up to the next level of licensing. Both courses are offered in what is commonly called a “blended” or hybrid approach meaning you complete online lessons on your own and attend mandatory in-person workshops.

I’ll be teaching the Sales Agent Course in Augusta–the workshop dates are four consecutive Saturday mornings starting on January 29, 2022. You’ll want to be registered by January 14th so you have time to complete the online lessons prior to the first workshop. I’ll be teaching the same course in Bangor with the workshops on four consecutive Saturdays starting on March 5, 2022. You should be registered by February 17th so you have time to complete the online lessons prior to the first workshop.

The Associate Broker Course in Augusta includes four consecutive Friday Workshops starting on January 28, 2022. You’ll want to be registered by January 14th so you have time to complete the online lessons prior to the first workshop. I’ll be teaching the same course in Bangor with the workshops on four consecutive Saturdays starting on March 4, 2022. You should be registered by February 17th so you have time to complete the online lessons prior to the first workshop.

Real Estate Licensees – Beware!

Leave a comment

The following is reprinted verbatim from an email just received from OPOR. Please feel free to share widely!

Please be aware that there is a scam being used to obtain personal information from licensees.  Other states are experiencing similar scams.   

Scammers are using a spoof phone number that looks like the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation (OPOR) or the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation (DPFR). These scammers are contacting licensees in an effort to get licensees to share personal information.  The scams are likely to vary but they include telling the licensees that the licensing board or other regulator has opened an investigation and their license has been suspended or revoked.  The scammer then asks the licensee to share or verify personal information over the phone. 

If you receive a suspicious call, you should not share any personal information over the phone or by email.  Licensees who think they may be a victim of a scam or attempted fraud should contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General toll-free at 800-436-2131 (TTY 711), or at 207-626-8849, or online at: maine.gov/ag/consumer/complaints/.

Summer Learning Opportunity in Bangor

It’s no secret the real estate market is hot! Here’s your opportunity to get involved and licensed. It all starts with the successful completion of a required Sales Agent Course and I’ll be teaching one in July!

The Sales Agent Fast Track Course is exactly that: fast! And it offers the best of both worlds. The course includes self-study using online resources and a textbook. But it also includes four classroom workshops where you take part in interactive learning activities with fellow learners and a instructor.

The workshops are held at Beal University in Bangor on Wednesday evenings starting on July 14, 2021. The deadline for registering is July 7, 2021–registering earlier is recommended so you have your materials and complete the required lessons.

“I have to give a huge shout-out to our teacher Walter. He thoroughly knows his material and the way he explains things makes is much clearer than reading from a book alone. He went above and beyond to assist in areas I was struggling with and was extremely prompt on answering emails. He also was very encouraging. I am not sure I have had a more sincere, encouraging well informing teacher in my life.”
