This week’s theme is, shockingly, no theme. I can’t really find a through line between these courses except to say that I think they look interesting, and that people who take them would likely benefit.
Here is what I’ve found the week of October 13, 2025 that looks interesting to me:
10/13/25, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Commercial Sales 101: From Client to Contract to Close. This is the only “maybe” class that I’m recommending, simply from the fact that if you have no interest in commercial sales, you might not pick up anything useful. But I talk to a lot of agents who are interested in expanding into this niche.
10/14/25, 9:00 AM - Noon: Understanding How Solar Panels Affect Transactions. Crucial if you work in residential brokerage. End of description.
10/16/25, 10:00 AM - Noon: Evictions: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. An important aspect of property management to learn about. If you’re going to work with tenants, you need to know about evictions.
10/16/25, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Crafting Conversations and Overcoming Objections. It was just the other day that I was recommending the books Getting to Yes, Getting Past No, and Secrets of Closing the Sale. All topics you need to understand if you’re going to sell your services to others.
If you know of an interesting class that you think deserves a shout-out in a future roundup, please email me at bart@edu.realestate.
