SERHANT. Ventures, the education and innovation arm of SERHANT., recently announced it is partnering with The CE Shop, the preferred online education provider for real estate regulatory education, to introduce the “Sell It Like Serhant Pre-Licensing Sales Accelerator,” which is aimed at advancing the way the real estate industry approaches pre-licensing education for aspiring real estate agents. The partnership was catalyzed by the newly-formed SERHANT. Ventures Advisory Board, who will advise in the development of Sell It Like Serhant course offerings and curriculum in order to best empower aspiring and existing real estate professionals.
Data from the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), indicates that 87% of realtors leave the real estate profession within five years. SERHANT. Ventures recognizes that this is largely attributed to a gap in an agent’s early education; while pre-licensing education is a critical part of the licensing process, it does not teach agents how to successfully start, grow, and manage an entrepreneurial sales business.
To help new real estate agents achieve greater success, the Sell It Like Serhant Pre-Licensing Sales Accelerator will offer The CE Shop’s pre-licensing program in 38 states bundled with the Sell It Like Serhant “Real Estate Core” course to offer aspiring agents everything they need to launch a lucrative and profitable real estate sales career.
“Sales is the greatest profession in the world, and we are dedicated to helping individuals achieve their limitless potential through the mastery of sales. A key component of our mission is making sure aspiring agents are set up for success from the start,” said Kyle Scott, president of SERHANT. Ventures. “SERHANT. Ventures is proud to be partnering with The CE Shop to revolutionize the way the real estate industry approaches pre-licensing education – for the first time ever, anyone who wants to get their real estate license can do so while learning how to sell and succeed in the business of sales at the exact same time. We look forward to helping future real estate agents thrive..”
In addition to the two courses, the Sell It Like Serhant Real Estate Sales Accelerator will also include access to a dedicated Sell It Like Serhant digital community for all pre-licensing students to network with and learn from each other, an exclusive forum where enrollees can get answers to their pressing questions from Sell It Like Serhant’s roster of experts and network with fellow entry-level agents in their markets, access to a monthly Q&A with Ryan Serhant, templates and guidebooks, and a bi-weekly virtual workshop with industry experts. The community programming is a core part of an agent’s success with Sell It Like Serhant’s Sales Accelerator because sales is fundamentally a relationship business.
The Sell It Like Serhant Real Estate Sales Accelerator is the first offering developed based on recommendation from the SERHANT. Ventures Advisory Board. The board officially formed earlier this year and includes Aaron Kirman, president of International Luxury Estates at Compass, founder and CEO of the Aaron Kirman Group, and star of CNBC’s Listing Impossible; Bob Lucido, president and CEO of Lucido Global and the Bob Lucido Team; Ige Johnson, broker/owner of RE/MAX Generation and leader of the Ige Johnson Group; Karen Yolevski, chief operating officer of Royal LePage’s corporate-owned brokerages; Misty Soldwisch, broker/owner of Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Innovations, leader of The Misty SOLDwisch Home Selling Team, and host of a weekly radio show about the real estate market in Central Iowa; Nancy Almodovar, president and chief executive officer of NAN & Company Properties; Sharelle Rosado, founder and CEO of Allure Realty and star of Netflix’s Selling Tampa; Tim Hur, managing broker of Point Honors and Associates, Realtors and 2022 National President of the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA); and Ryan Serhant.
