We are Dealroom Partners and we are on a mission to build better training for professionals. We challenge the status quo by making everything we bring to market beautifully designed, professionally produced, and simple to use so we can offer our students the best possible user experience.
We are focused on improving the online learning experience for professionals, starting in the real estate industry.
While attending Bentley University I had my real estate license and worked as a real estate agent for a non-traditional game changing brokerage. I am passionate about pursuing operational efficiency and learning along the way. I also enjoy competing in everything from tough mudder races to new business endeavors.
During my final year at Bentley, I had to complete continuing education to keep my real estate license active. Naturally, I did what most do and went online to research what was both available and convenient. I settled on a school that (at the time) seemed to have their website together, so I registered and started watching the videos. I quickly learned that when the instructor loses their own interest it’s impossible for the student to stay interested, so I just let the videos play and listened to the audio while I worked on a tax research project, which was more exciting than the videos.
What really aggravated me was the introduction video on their homepage was done by a good looking, enthusiastic, happy person that anyone would enjoy listening to for 12 hours. Once I paid, the instructor was some old guy in an ugly sweater. I shared this story with a few real estate colleagues of mine who I then found out had similar “bait and switch” experiences. It really pissed me off they were getting away with this, but, since I only had to do it once every 2 years I got over it and went on with my life. I continued to bother me and not long after I decided I was going to do it better.
A couple of weeks ago (in 2012) we launched our first training, Keep Me Certified School of Real Estate. Keep Me Certified a fully approved online real estate school by the Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure.
