What makes the PREAC program different?
There’s so much more to real estate than just the transactions. It’s essential that today’s real estate assistants understand the most effective lead generation methods, how to produce a successful listing campaign from start to finish, and so on.
The Professional Real Estate Assistant Certification (CPREA) designation lets your clients and prospects know that you’re serious about your business, making you more marketable and highly sought-after by real estate professionals.
Expected Outcomes
Students typically are able to increase their offerings and value to their employers or clients during the program and beyond. In-house assistants can expect to command higher wages and virtual real estate assistants can immediately start raising their fees with current and new clients. CPREA is perfect for in-house and virtual support professionals alike, whether brand new to the industry or a seasoned veteran.
