Hello Don:

November 13, 2009

Don:

Rarely in life are great expectations exceeded.  You exceeded mine.

I did virtually all of my preparation to become a CPA at night at an earlier age, and, quite frankly, wondered what class would be like at this stage following a long workday.  I looked forward to coming to class.  It is hard for me to believe one could sit and listen for 4+ hours two evenings a week and never be bored.

You possess some unique qualities; in fact, I told my son and fellow classmate, Jeff, you could pick from a wide range of topics and keep a class awake and alert.  That’s a unique attribute!  And we learned a lot!!!

Many thanks,

Jeff M.

Dear Don,

I would like to take the time to thank you for your excellent instruction on the real estate business and how to pass the state exam.  After completing your night classes, and after a week of studying, I managed to pass the test on the very first attempt.  Before attending your class, I had figured that with my self described poor math skills, I could never even attempt to obtain a real estate license, but after attending your sometimes funny, but always entertaining classes my fantasy of becoming a real estate salesperson has come true!

Thanks to the skills and real life experience you so often described in your classes, I have managed to have scheduled my first settlement just 10 days after receiving my state license.  Some of the things you have passed along to me each week has given me the ability to work on an equal level with people who have been in this profession for far more years than myself.

Should anyone approach me and ask how they could get started in this business, I would immediately recommend THE Real Estate School, and that funny farm boy from the middle of nowhere.

With my appreciation,

Jeffrey T.

Dear Don,

I would like to thank you for the first class training provided by the Real Estate School.

If you will remember, I’m the “old Guy” who attended your October 2009 day course for the two weeks and finished your final exam before all of the young folks.

Well, I took the State Exam in November and finished in one and one-half hours and passed!!  (They allow 4 hours)   Your course is very effective and informative.

Please pass this on to any prospective but doubtful students.

If a 64 year old Grandfather of 3 can do it, so can they!

Sincerely,

Robert S.

Dear Don,

As I was anticipating a decision to make a change in my career I met with a Broker from a Real Estate Agency who suggested I contact your school because it was considered an exemplary institution for real estate education.

How fortunate I was to have been given this information because you are a valuable instructor I will always remember.  I will carry your words of wisdom throughout my career, and strive to be the best!

As I move forward I will be contacting you, once again, to obtain my broker license at your prestigious school.

Again, thank you for your expertise and support.

Dear Mr. Haven,

Just wanted to drop you a note thanking for a very informative two weeks and for helping me pass the exam on the first try.  In addition to teaching the required course material in an interesting manner, your extensive real estate experiences provided a valuable perspective on what to expect in the profession and what it takes to become a successful salesperson.

Obtaining my real estate license provided additional career opportunities, greater job flexibility, and will assist me in developing a new business factoring real estate commissions which I plan to start in the next month or two. 

Thanks again,

Roberta B.

Dear Don,

I want to officially thank you for your patience and kindness to this old man, during your last class of the sales licensing cours.  I asked some “off the wall questions” because I really wanted to learn about the industry, but had no intention of becoming a licensed salesperson.

I am Chairman of the Trustees Building Committee of NJ Shriners.  Therefore, I need industry knowledge to buy land, understand regulations and develop several options to build our new fraternal home.

Some of your anecdotal stories helped me understand the broker/sales relationship, their competitive nature, as well as the legal and procedural basis for their attitudes.  Now I can more easily understand them and possibly use some of them to help with this very important project.

I became so interested due to your presentation and skill that I decided to complete the course, take the tests and get my license.  With your fine teaching ability the process was a genuine pleasure.  Now I can find a place to hang my pride and joy.

Thanks for your effort!

Mr. Haven,

Thank you so much for spending the time with me to try to help me out with my situation on the encroachment with my listing.  You went over and above what I even expected you to know.  You were right.  The survey was wrong and I checked into  it and the lawyer was wrong.  Thank you so much for your time and insight.  I will use it in the future.

Your former student,

Dear Don,

In recalling an earlier conversation of ours, I remember mentioning my opinion that the problem with most college diplomas is they signify graduates have only learned “how to say it …not what to say”.

I want to thank you for the instructing, not only, the “how” but, more importantly, the “what” in your real estate sales training course.  Your instruction was very informative and greatly beneficial.

It was a pleasure being in your class.
