Real Estate Education Online Takes Off

By: Zarita Senekal

New real estate distance learning offers real estate courses 24 x 7.

Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) August 22, 2005 -- To serve the needs of Realtors® and real estate agents RealtyU® has created a national real estate learning portal (www.realtyuonline.com) with over 1,900 real estate courses – real estate education is thus now available to anyone, from everywhere and at any time,” says Thomas Mitchell, the COO of RealtyU® – the largest network of real estate schools in America.

“At this point in time there is no indication that distance learning is going to replace classroom training in the foreseeable future. It is however clear that online real estate education has been accepted by the industry and is growing rapidly,” he added.

“The major driving force of online real estate instruction” said Mitchell is the “convenience of time and location.” Based on recent research online e-learning has not eroded classroom education but allows real estate agents to squeeze in an additional learning opportunity that agents previously may have let slip through due to time constraints.
