Broker Reviews:
"Resource CRE is doing all 21 one-hour sessions. This is part of our NextGen initiative. Even our senior brokers are raving about the content. Nicely done Mr. Bull." Tim Monger
"Top ten success strategies really opened my eyes as an agent in my third year. Very straight forward and in depth ideas from a guy who knows what he is doing. These resources are priceless." Justin
"The strategies I learned in the video Closing the Bid Ask Gap helped my communication and helped our team close the gap quicker. I will definitely be watching the other videos, because I know they will help me add value for my customers in the future. Thank you!" Austin Sharp
"This is the most valuable tool/resource I've ever purchased. I've used three other programs and found them to be somewhat useful, however, the difference is you can tell that Michael is still active in the CRE game. He isn't hypothecating about how to put deals together based on experience from ten years ago. That makes a HUGE difference in the content relevance. " Jerry LoCoco
