Reviews

Ben Dowis is the best instructor the NWLAR has and the competition is tough as we have several good instructors. The facilities are top notch but always, always, always cold. I think the LREC who mandates these CE courses ought to provide a video for these courses. A brief public service video depicting their purpose, expectations, changes and challenges. It always feels like it's "Us" against "Them" even though we really have the same ultimate goal of protecting the public and total transparency.

Even though I have been in the business for 25 years, the information was very relevant; I learned a lot and will share a bullet point summary of must know items with my group of agents and staff.

I have been in real estate for over thirty years and this was one of the best informational courses I have taken. The information could be very dry with the wrong instructor, but this instructor gave us the information in a way that we did not fall a sleep. Many great examples and stories to help us understand each issue. I will look for this instructor again!

The instructor was great and the class setting was great as well. The only complaint was the timing of the class, if it could be scheduled an hour earlier it would be much better.

I found this class very informative. The instructor was positive, well informed and professional. He engaged the class attendees and followed the hand out.. He knew the material and did not read the outline but explained it and covered it completely. The building was comfortable and had plenty of room for the group. They provided drinks (soda and water) and snacks since the class was held from 5:30 pm until 9:30 pm.
