To the point - what a fantastic response!

I received the following letter from an agency after receiving the "to the point" checklist.

"Thanks Charl - quite an interesting checklist - my agents have a weekly
training session.. on top of that they do a one month intensive course that
I have designed when they join my company (even if they are experienced).

We are currently very small, however my goal is to produce high income
earning agents - not one great performer and nine below average sales
people. They receive weekly goals and a daily allocation sheet of tasks
that need to be done. Already from this framework I have spotted a few
points that I have failed to address in my current program and training eg.
Money laundering - not much focus on this.

I will print it off and run through the checklist with each individual agent
and provide more feedback then.

Thanks again"

...and this is the whole purpose - to develop a living and practical tool, that will lead to agents easily being able to collect the evidence necessary to meet the requirements of the Further Education and Training Certificate: Real Estate. This together with the "paint by numbers" toolkit will save you time, money and agony. Talk to me - order your free "to the point" instrument and invest in the "paint by numbers" file; also ask about the free "palette" resource guide and "the outside of the box" all tools to make it easy to attain Recognition of Prior Learning and get your FETC: Real Estate (SAQA ID 59097) to be able to keep on selling property after December 2011!

6. A fantastic new resource guide for the FETC: Real Estate

I have just completed a first draft of a very exciting document that is part of the "Paint by Numbers" suite of programmes that are designed to help Estate Agents acquire their Further Education and Training Certificate: Real Estate (SAQA ID 59097) in the quickest and most cost effective way possible.

It lists for each of the following core unit standards in the Real Estate Qualification the websites where the concepts are discussed:

A 246734 Advise role players on Real Estate financing options
B 246738 Apply business principles to the Real Estate function
C 246735 Demonstrate an understanding of the Real Estate environment Core
D 242584 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 2002 (FAIS) (Act 37 of 2002) as it impacts on a specific financial services sub-sector
E 246733 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the legislation applicable to real estate practice
F 242593 Explain South African money laundering legislation and the implications for accountable institutions in transacting with clients Core
G 246739 Manage self-development in a Real Estate environment
H 246736 Market, sell and lease property
I 246737 Demonstrate knowledge of and apply the Real Estate Code of Conduct and ethics

This "palette" of resource material is still work in progress and will be updated as new resources are dicovered and developed. Let me know if you have anything exciting that can be shared with learners wising to attain their Real Estate Qualification. I would like to put the links in.
