REPA Certification
Why should I earn an REPA certificate?
All successful real estate brokers and agents know how important a good assistant is to their success. “The best investment of time and money,” says Martin Edwards, Jr., president of the National Association of REALTORS®, “just might be in a well-trained professional assistant. The REPA course can turn the right candidate for assistant – or any support position, for that matter – into an agent’s ‘right hand.’”
Understanding this, taking the two-day REPA certificate course will better familiarize yourself with the inner workings of the real estate industry, studying such topics as professional and ethical standards, local listing and sales procedures, and how to manage a real estate transaction.
The Real Estate Professional Assistant (REPA;) course is a comprehensive two-day certificate program that provides an intensive introduction to the real estate business and to the specific ways support staff can become valuable assets to their employers. Every administrative employee in the brokerage office, from the listing secretary to the personal assistant, will benefit tremendously from this quick-start program. Employers will save time and money with this resource for professional training while giving new employees a sense of “belonging” and “career” that comes from identification with the industry.
