Real estate brokers and agents who want to provide a full menu of services to their clients must increasingly rely on the support of assistants. At the same time, the assistants must understand the business of real estate and know how to manage transactions. Every assistant needs to know key marketing concepts and be familiar with the level of professionalism and ethics expected of him or her. The National Association of Realtors® Real Estate Professional Assistant^sm course was designed with these needs in mind.

The Real Estate Professional Assistant ^sm(REPA) course is a beginner’s quick-start, two-day certificate program that provides an introduction to the real estate business and outlines 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 program.

During the two-day course, students will learn:

• The business of real estate
