ALISO VIEJO, CA., Sept. 26, 2005 - The Real Estate Professionals Society this
week announced that it had approved a number of online courses as satisfying
the requirements for several of its designations. These include courses for
the Commercial, Mortgage, Appraisal and Home Inspection Real Estate Professional
designations, which are offered online through their real estate education
partner, RealtyU® via their distance learning web portal, http://www.RealtyUonline.com.
The Real Estate Professionals Society (REPS), a Society dedicated to increasing
professionalism in the real estate industry, has recognized the changing business
environment and has decided it make it easier for agents to obtain quality real
estate designations. The Society awards various real estate designations in a
number of related real estate disciplines upon successful completion of the associated
real estate course meeting the standards established for each designation. At
the present time these designations include:
- AREP - Accredited Real Estate Professional
- CREP - Commercial Real Estate Professional
- CMREP - Career Management Real Estate Professional
- EREP - e-Business Real Estate Professional
- RREP - Referral Real Estate Professional
- APREP - Appraisal Real Estate Professional
- HIREP - Home Inspection Real Estate Professional
- MREP - Mortgage Real Estate Professional
Once real estate agents have completed any of the approved courses they only
need to visit the REPS website (www.REPSociety.com) to complete their membership
application. Once successful course completion is confirmed the Society notifies
the agent and he or she receives their designation, pin, certification and access
to the members' only area of the REPS website and the monthly e-Newsletter. The
greatest feature of the Real Estate Professionals Society is that irrespective
the number of designations you hold you still only have to pay one annual membership
fee.
According to Era Swanepoel, the Executive Director of REPS, "as the interest
in distance learning continues to grow, we continue to look for additional, new
courseware to improve the overall quality of our Society. It is our goal to help
foster an increase in professional standards throughout the real estate industry."
