Weichert Realtors Press Release
Weichert Real Estate School Stays at the Head of the Class with New Brokers Course
7/22/2008
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – Weichert,
Realtors®, one of the nation’s largest privately held real estate companies,
announced that students enrolling in the Weichert Real Estate School Brokers
Course will now have the option to receive concurrent credit towards becoming
an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).
The Weichert Real Estate School is the only real estate school to offer
this opportunity.
ABR is a
nationally recognized professional designation granted by the Real Estate
Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC), a subsidiary of the National Association of
Realtors (NAR).
Additionally,
students taking the 30 hour ‘Agency & Ethics’ module, the second of three
education courses required for a broker’s license, will receive credit for the
ABR core course requirement. Real estate
professionals interested in solely obtaining the ABR designation may take the
‘Agency & Ethics’ module independent of the broker course.
“At
Weichert, we are committed to offering the best in real estate education,” said
Lou Cecconi, director of the Weichert Real Estate School in New Jersey. “Incorporating the ABR
educational requirements into our school’s broker course curriculum gives
students an excellent opportunity that they can’t get anywhere else.”
