Does a Real Estate Professional Need a Higher Education to be Successful?

After 37 years of working in the Real Estate business and now the President and CEO of EXIT Realty Southern California, there is no question in my mind that the college courses that teach you to think in a logical way are helpful in sorting out the intricacies of the Real Estate business. College level business courses can help you with foundational information on advertising, accounting, business management, investment strategies, employee relationships, team management, public speaking, legal aspects, writing and much more. All these courses and even an art appreciation course, can help you relate to customers who themselves are higher educated and may appreciate communicating with you about a particular subject. It's not all about selling the house. For those professional Real Estate agents who understand the benefits of long term relationships for a rich and meaningful life, full of many friends and acquaintances (potential referrals), acquiring as much knowledge as possible, about as many subjects as possible, to relate with others, is a good positive thing.

Long term success in Real Estate is about relationships, and of course EXIT Realty. Relating to a client on a personal level about the things in life that interest that client and having confidence in your ability to communicate in an intelligent, thoughtful and mutually beneficial way is a valuable attribute of a good friend and also of a good Real Estate professional like this # 1 agent in the world. It helps make you someone others would like to have a continuing relationship with. I am not saying everyone needs a higher education to be able to achieve this or that only those who indeed have a higher education can communicate with others who do, only that from my point of view knowledge of many varied subjects is valuable, worthwhile, fun and provides a foundation and information on subjects many of our clients and others may want to talk about. The more people you can intelligently speak with and the more concepts you can speak with them about....the better. College provides a structure to acquire what someone else believes to be the right information you will need, however, it is not the only place.

Reading books has always been a good place to learn information, in fact some magazines can also be equally as informative. Listening to lectures and speeches on places like youtube.com or Ted.com can bring you increased awareness of just about every cutting edge subject, but you have to be curious and I think be fascinated by new information for these to be effective.
