Real Estate Agents Have ?Inside Track? on Real Estate Investment Success

Trump University becoming center for broker-friendly programs including: online courses, audio courses, coaching programs and more
RISMEDIA, April 3, 2006-Real estate agents have long been poised to capitalize on investment opportunities, owing to their privileged position in the field. They often have insider information and are simply in the right place at the right time.

When it comes to local areas that are hot, properties that may soon be listed, and owners who are anxious to cut a deal, real estate agents are very much in the know. And, according to real estate magnate Donald Trump, that’s the kind of ?totally legal insider knowledge they can take right to the bank ? if only they knew what they need to know about real estate investing.

Fortunately, Trump University was recently started to do just that. Through a variety of online zero-commute courses that participants may take from the comfort of their desktops, real estate professionals can now get up to speed on the tools, techniques, and proven strategies of successful real estate investing in minimal time. These courses use state-of-the-art simulations, helpful online tools, peer interaction, and extensive hands-on exercises to make the learning more immediately relevant ? and more likely to be retained. As one student recently enthused, ?The knowledge you get from Trump University is not passive or inert ? it’s applicable to the real world!?

Trump University is at the forefront of this revolution in online real estate learning, and offers programs that can effectively transform an agent into an investor. As the Financial Times noted, ?What Trump University has going for it is its content. It is very good. According to Prof. Gary Eldred, the head of Trump University?s real estate curriculum, agents definitely have an advantage as investors, but they need the knowledge to capitalize on this advantage.

?The more you know, the more you can capitalize on investment properties,’ says Prof. Eldred. Also, you’re in a much better position to sell property to investors, as opposed to someone just purchasing a residence. Investors have a different agenda, so you need to be able to address their concerns if you hope to be successful in that arena.

Trump University online courses, such as Make Quick Profits in Any Real Estate Market, Find and Purchase Income Producing Properties, and Significantly Increase the Value of Any Property, can help agents cash in on their knowledge the local market, local trends, and buyers and sellers to make smarter, more profitable real estate investments.

?There are enormous opportunities available to agents, but they often go untapped; they don’t have the knowledge to pursue and realize opportunities that may be right in front of them,’ says Eldred. Agents have to learn how to analyze a property from the perspective of the investor rather than just the home buyer. At Trump University we teach agents to think like investors.

In the new real estate landscape, agents may need to transform their whole approach, to stop thinking about commissions and start thinking about portfolio. As they face new competition, they will need to discover new sources of revenue, which means reaching out to investors and becoming investors themselves.
