The Future of Real Estate in Michigan

As most of my students know, a lot of real estate classes in Michigan have been canceled due to lack of interest. Some people have a "gloom and doom" image of the real estate industry. This is not true of the graduating class of March 2008, U. S. Brokers Institute, Inc in Acme, Michigan. They are all realistically ready to tackle today's market. The fundamental class contained both Broker and Salesperson candidates. By combining the two, we are able have sufficient attendance to continue to offer quality education to both. After their names, I have either put the initials BC or SC, which stands for Broker Candidate or Salesperson Candidate. If you look for these people in a couple of years, you will find they are all outstanding in their field. I know when I spot a "keeper". To have an entire class of them is awesome. This is the class teachers get when they go to teacher heaven.
L to R: Luke Altman, SC; Jim Jesse, SC; Carolyn Collins, BC; LouAnn Ford, BC; Lisa Grise, SC; Karen Copeland, SC; Jean Hughey, BC; Matt McCullough, SC; Doug Taylor, BC.

It is not a seller's market or a buyer's market. It is an agent's market. More millionaires per capita were created during the Great Depression than any other period. All nine of these are realistic and ready to do whatever it takes to position themselves for success. In fact some of them already have. The broker candidates were all busy on every break taking care of business.

I am looking forward to having the broker candidates as students again in my real estate law classes. Go to www.TheAcmeInstitute.com for a more complete list of upcoming classes.
