Formal Education of Realtors


I have come across this bit of information on http://www.realtor.org/libweb.nsf/pages/fg006 It's quite fascinating. There is something supremely awesome in the fact that almost half the time, people who 'run' the real estate market did not graduate from college. What a wonderful statistic. Thank you Realtor.com - this is truly inspiring. I am glad to know that my Master's degree in International Business and my husband's Professional Engineering license combined, do not match up to the realtor's Associate degree from Buttfuck University. Super. We are always happy to be treated like dumb animals, especially when we receive solicitating emails that start out polite, and end up threatening with an immenint nuclear holocaust, if we don't list with that particular broker. Stay tuned for such an email, you know it's coming! Cheerio.

what's more interesting is that 99.9% of that education had nothing to do with real estate.

I have a 4 year degree but not in real estate. Just like in corporate america where employers want a degree but a MA is liturature is fine for a job in a HR department, as long as the job seeker has a degree. The deal with real estate sales is that it is not rocket science. The selling part is oh so easy. The hard part is marketing real estate services in a world with so many realtors and managing finances when the next comission check may not come for another couple of months.
