Cruisin’ for Diversity (top)
Marketing Diversity on the Internet
Is your customer and principal base diverse? Is your office diverse? Do both truly reflect the diversity in the area that you serve? Is diversity a goal of current management? Do the models in your brokerage ads reflect the diversity concept by being representative of your market and display people in equal social settings? Fair Housing Laws are reinforced and ideas are introduced to reach more minority groups. Use of the Internet illustrates,through examples, how to build a diverse web page and welcome people from other cultures to the site.
Learn how to track visitors to your sites and how to link to diversity groups and use banners to create an inclusive web site and generate an additional profit center. Add links to your web site including non government sourced immigration information, translation engines and other tools to reach out to minority communities.

The Whole Enchilada (top)
Technology, the Internet and eCommerce
If all this techno stuff is overwhelming, become informed and enabled and take it all on. You’ll understand, perhaps for the first time, how all of this techno-stuff works and how you control it, not the other way around.
Learn how to use the Internet to increase your bottom line. This is the lowest cost profit-center available to any broker or licensees and the resources have to be used wisely. Always a convention and district event favorite.
Take this course before you purchase equipment or purchase Internet services. When you’re done with this course you’ll know as much about this stuff as the people who try to sell it to you. “Now I see how this all fits together,” is a common refrain from students. Generally, they just say, “Wow!”
This course concentrates on the technology (hardware and software) necessary to serve the public and to purchase and maintain computer equipment and peripherals at the most cost effective prices.
Three or four hours
The Art of Zen and the Internet (top)
This course is designed for the intermediate and experienced computer user. Basic and advanced users rush to the office to make some change as soon as they finish this session. Students can’t wait to implement the ideas.
Get inside the mind set of the Internet New Model. Ever giggle through a techno-ethics session? Ever had a techno ethics session? Maybe it’s time to look ahead and get in touch with another reality.
Risk management and liability is explored from many perspectives. many licensees are not aware of the potential risks or how to inexpensively minimize them. There are options. The office of the future is here.
We demonstrate a working VOW (virtual office web site) and explore the concepts along with concerns expressed by the Realtor® community.
What kind of future office will the internet generate? No more brick-and-mortar office and only market a company on a virtual site? A combo package, maybe?
Three or four hours
Core Law (top)
The staple. All new changes that took effect on July 1, 2003, are incorporated. This course is always up-to-date and includes changes from the Division of Real Estate, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, State and Federal regulators.
A comprehensive quick-moving three hours. Just the facts presented at a fast pace. There is always enough time for questions. Up to six hours of Core Law may be credit toward the fourteen hour requirement.
Quick Tip for Florida Brokers:
To maintain your real estate license, all licensees must comply with post-licensing or continuing education requirements and pay necessary renewal fees. This also applies to those licensees with a suspended license.
In support of the statutory requirements for your profession, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation has implemented a 100% Post and Continuing Education Monitoring database. All course providers are required to report your education completion to the department within 30-days of completion, or prior to the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
If your required education is not complete and/or reported, you will not be able to renew your license.
You may verify your continuing education credits at MyFloridaLicense.

Brokerage Relationship Disclosures (top)
Florida Agency Law made simple. It’s not rocket science. All changes implemented on July 1, 2003, are implemented with new forms also included. There just are not that many options that it should be complicated. Single agents, non-agents, designated agents and transaction brokers each have specific rules which are easily satisfied.
train agents before they get into trouble... and they will get into trouble without advanced agency training.
This straight-forward and fast-moving Continuing Education course provides a resource manual, examples, case studies and all of the forms necessary to practice safe-agency in Florida.

No-Nonsense Brokerage Management
This comprehensive course delves into marketing, management liability, standards of practice and an honorable exit for the non-producer.
Learn up-to-the-minute brokerage management options and techniques to encourage the creation and continuation of a profitable brokerage.
Budgeting and technology considerations really make this a well-rounded course for the broker or manager. Consideration of colleagues and a wise use of human resources create an environment which encourages production.

Three or four hours
Professional Standards and the Code of Ethics (top)
This Professional Standards experience is used to train Grievance and Professional Standards Committee members in addition to members of the Board of Directors.
It details the specific responsibilities of each group and sharpens hearing and consideration skills. A good adjunct to Quadrennial Ethics Training. Students assume the posture of a Grievance Committee and a Professional Standards Hearing Panel from processing complaints to assembling a Hearing or Arbitration Panel.
Do you win a professional standards case because you are correct or because you prepare a better case than the opposition? Let’s go with the second notion. Learn and use the rules to your advantage.
Attorneys and other professionals from allied fields use this as their guide to understand the processes unique to the real estate brokerage industry. This course is updated on a yearly basis as modifications to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice are approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of REALTORS®.

New Member Ethics Training (top)
NAR Mandated Course
Some Florida REALTOR® groups hire us to teach their new members this NAR Mandated New Member Ethics training course. Most boards present this on-their-own but others combine this new member training along with a Continuing Education course for the rest of the membership. We invited boards and associations to enter into a yearly agreement to present this course to new members.
The premise is to hit the new members with extensive ethics training to get them started correctly. This course can be combined with Quadrennial Ethics Training during the same session. No Continuing Education credit.
