The instructors at our New Jersey real estate schools used to know many of the questions from people in their real estate license classes would be about “How much can I earn?” and “How do I find the best real estate broker?” In the past few weeks, that has changed. Now the questions are, “What [...]
It’s one of the very first questions we ask when students convene for the very first real estate licensing class at Garden State Real Estate Academy: Why do you want a career in real estate? One of the advantages our students say they find about our real estate licensing courses is that we give them [...]
September 25, 2019 “How much money can I make in my first year as a real estate agent?” “I want to make $100,000 by the end of my first full year.” “I want to be the #1 Realtor® in Haddonfield in five years.” “I want to build a team and then open my own real [...]
September 4, 2019 On the first day in our South Jersey real estate school, our instructors ask students, “Why do you want a New Jersey real estate license?” Then they ask, “What are your impressions of having a real estate career?” The answers can be . . . hmmm . . . quite amusing. Then [...]

Then again, maybe it has something to do with everything we do, both as individuals and as real estate professionals. As a child, growing up in a Salvation Army [...]
December 10, 2018 We were halfway through the last real estate licensing class in Cherry Hill when one of the aspiring Realtors® told the class a story. “My friend just changed from xxx Realty to yyy Realtors®,” she said, and after she told them she was leaving, the brokerage wouldn’t let her take her listings [...]
December 5, 2018 The speaker at my Rotary meeting this morning was Cedrick Brown, one-time Eagles player and now an accomplished author and successful pastor of a church with campuses in Lindenwold, Wilmington and Rowan University.
