The Top 10 Reasons to Teach Real Estate Continuing Education!
For the past 20 years, I have been teaching real estate classes. Initially, I began teaching as a way to build and maintain professional relationships and gain referrals. Unlike sponsoring open houses or arranging casual coffee meet-ups, I found that educating was a more effective and respectable approach.
The courses I taught were not just general marketing or time management workshops. They were state-approved continuing education (CE) courses, allowing agents and brokers to earn credits for their license renewal. Instead of focusing on general real estate topics, I specialized in real estate finance, specifically mortgages. This area is often overlooked, yet it offers a wealth of topics to explore.
Most real estate professionals have not received in-depth training on mortgages. They may not understand our processes, the reasons behind our methods, or how we operate. While it’s true that this isn’t traditionally part of their job, this lack of knowledge can create a divide between real estate professionals and mortgage originators. Instead of fostering an “us versus them” mentality, we should aim for a collaborative team environment.
Here are the top 10 reasons why teaching is an excellent strategy for growing your business:
- Regularly engage with hundreds of real estate agents and brokers.
- Offer a valuable benefit: continuing education credits for their licenses.
- Increase local exposure to agents and brokers you may not have met otherwise.
- Provide mortgage information in a professional, non-sales setting.
- Introduce new concepts that will help them serve their clients better.
- Allow agents to understand your mortgage expertise.
- Showcase your ability to answer mortgage questions and your communication style.
- Expand your knowledge—teaching requires mastery.
- Gain national exposure through online courses or conferences.
- Earn additional income from teaching.
Capturing the attention of real estate agents and securing referrals can be challenging. Many agents have established relationships with other originators or have in-house mortgage services. However, some are always open to new connections, products, and services.
