Real Estate Assistant Training and Certification

Providing students with the PRACTICAL information and HANDS-ON training that can be immediately applied to working with real estate professionals.

In-House

Working in a real estate office is exciting and challenging. Seeing agents and brokers at work is priceless. 

Virtual

Real estate virtual assistants (REVAs) can play a pivotal role in a real estate office, and can be a successful business model for VAs.

U.S. and Canada

Our training and certification is applicable to both the United States and Canada. 

End-to-End

Our program provides practical and comprehensive training in all major aspects of the real estate back-office activities.

It used to be that realtors only used in-house assistants for the myriad of tasks they needed help with. But the Internet changed all that. For several years now, assistants in this profession have had the exciting flexibility of working virtually from their homes or elsewhere, delivering the same excellent service as they would at the 9-to-5 realty office.

Brokers and agents alike are working with REVAs because they’ve realized the benefits and outstanding value of outsourcing.

They are handing off their marketing and administrative tasks to free up their time to work on income-generating activities, including prospecting, listing and selling. They are partnering with REVAs to take care of such tasks as listing coordination, contact management, lead generation, and transaction management.

Don’t worry. That doesn’t leave in-house real estate assistants out in the cold.

These professionals are still a huge asset to realtors, as they always have been.

In fact, it really doesn’t matter where an assistant works from. What matters is what they know.

Our Professional Real Estate Assistant Certification Program is geared to both types of service provider and is the only one of its kind in the industry.

This program provides students with PRACTICAL SKILLS and HANDS-ON training that can be immediately applied to working with real estate agents and brokers.

Pam Ivey, creator and lead instructor, scoured the typical brick and mortar as well as Internet training offerings, and found them wanting.


So she created what she couldn’t find; a course packed with the right kind of information that today’s REAs need to really step into the role of skilled and strategic realtor’s right-hand.

Your value as a Certified Professional Real Estate Assistant just quadrupled.
