How could we determine which is the best real estate school in Orlando? I suppose we could go to Google and read the Google reviews for the schools in Orlando. I suppose we could go to You Tube and watch the nine real estate math videos that Climer School of Real Estate has posted there. As you watch those math videos, you might ask yourself,"Does this guy know what he is talking about?".
Another way we could figure out who is the best real estate school in Orlando is to ask around. Ask some rookie Realtors where they went to real estate school and would they recommend that school. Call any real estate office and ask the receptionist to let you speak to the new guy. While you have the new guy on the phone, ask him how he likes working there.
At Climer School of Real Estate, we teach a two day Florida real estate exam review. Many people call this the state exam cram course. This course is not required by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to get a Florida real estate license. Everyone that takes this class is just taking this cram course to learn information to prepare for the Florida real estate exam given by Pearson Vue.
Many people, after they have failed the Florida real estate exam once or twice, start looking for this class. You don't have to do much research to find out where the best real estate exam preparation class in Orlando is. It is at 5104 N. Orange Blossom Trail.
Some people want to take this Florida real estate exam preparation class but they don't have time. Some people need to take this class but they live in Jacksonville or Miami or Tampa or Pensacola or Destin or Fort Meyers or Saint Petersburg or some place that is too far to drive to Orlando. We have a solution for this problem. I have put the entire real estate exam prep class on video. I also have it on audio discs. Call Kathy at 407 822 3926 if you want to pass the Florida real estate exam next time but you can't attend class. Contact Kathy at www.climerrealestateschool.com .
We get many students in this class that have already taken the Florida Real Estate Commission Course I that is required to get your Florida real estate license. Maybe they took that real estate course online from a NOT Florida school. At Climer School of Real Estate , we teach you what you need to know in this class to pass the Florida real estate exam. I know that because many of my students leave the required class one day and go pass the Florida real estate exam the next day. We teach you what you need to know to pass the Florida real estate exam. If we can help you pass the Florida real estate exam, contact us.

Free Real Estate License For Recent Military Veterans
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has a new attractive offer for recent military veterans. If a recent military veteran wants to apply for a Florida real estate license, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation will waive the one hundred and five dollar fee that is required for a Florida real estate license.
Here is Joel Roman, a recent U.S. Navy veteran in our pre license class At Climer School of Real Estate we thought we should take a hint from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. We added a discount for recent military veterans for our pre license course that is required to get your Florida real Estate license. Our tuition is already the cheapest in Orlando. Our Florida pre license course is only $220, which includes the text book. Recent military veterans get it even cheaper than that.

Selling Real Estate is Dangerous, Be Safe
Personal safety is paramount. If your personal safety is in jeopardy, everything else is a detail. Selling real estate, by it's nature, is dangerous. This is not alarming news. It is just news. We are constantly meeting strangers. We are often in empty houses.
Your first protection is awareness. I never cover this at Climer School of Real Estate in real estate licensing class. I doubt that any other real estate instructor covers this issue in their class. It is mentioned very briefly in The Association of Realtors orientation class. There are a lot of things that we can do to be more safe. We are kinda like a person that has never been in a boat. How would this person know that a life preserver is a good thing. They would not know this. Someone would have to tell this rookie boater to wear a life preserver. Selling real estate is dangerous. Know this and take measures to be prepared. Here is a couple of suggestions if things go badly.
Carry a knife. Why would a lady NOT have a knife in her purse? It doesn't take up much room. I prefer a folding knife. A lady can easily carry a small hunting knife in a sheath in her purse or a folding knife. I carry a Kershaw knife in my pocket all the time.
Another wonderful thing is a flashlight. At Lowes, you can buy a metal Mag Lite. Anytime you are going into an empty house, with or without a prospect, take your Mag Lite with you. It is like a club that shines. Get yourself one. Put it in your car. Carry it with you when you show or inspect houses.
Pepper spray is another non lethal choice for personal protection. You can put this on your key chain. This is not a toy. If people see this on your key chain, they will not toy with you.
Anytime you are in a dangerous situation, any of these three things would probably be enough to give you a few seconds to get away. All you need to do is get away.
Don't be defenseless. Don't be a victim. In a boat, wear a life preserver. In a car, wear a seat belt. On a motorcycle, wear a helmet. In a dangerous situation, prepare yourself .

Please Don't Interrupt Me
If there is any doubt in your mind that it is rude to interrupt people when they are talking, please take my word for it. It is rude. It is extremely rude. Yet, people do it all the time. They do it in social situations. They do it in sales situations. They do it in classrooms. Here is my advice. Don't do it. Do not interrupt people when they are talking unless the building is on fire. Don't interrupt your boss. Don't interrupt your customer. Don't interrupt your spouse. Don't interrupt your kids.
If the purpose of you conversation is to persuade or to sell a product or service, interrupting is counter productive. If the purpose of your conversation is to display your lack of manners and couth, go ahead, interrupt.
If you think about this, you are not learning when you are talking. The secret to sales success is to learn what your customer wants and show him how your product will help him get it. If your customer has a urge to talk and tell you something that will lead you closer to a sale, do not interrupt him and start talking about your product. Let them talk. Do not interrupt.
You need to realize that the first step to learning this vital skill is awareness. Most people do not realize how much they interrupt others. Start paying attention to other people in a social conversation.
People interrupt other people all the time. It is rude. Part of awareness is to recognize that it is rude.
The second part of the problem is patience. Today's society has no patience. Develop patience. It is a highly regarded personality trait. Listen to the other guy. Let him talk. Listen to the other guy with patience. As you start to develop skill at this, you will be amazed. People don't always say what you thought they were going to say. If you don't develop the patience to listen to other people, you will never know this.
Another part of the problem is many people don't care what other people think of them. They believe it is not important. We call this arrogance and other synonyms. In a society, what other people think of you is important. If you find yourself with a slight amount of arrogance, work on getting rid of it. It does not help you achive your goals.
Be aware. Be patient. Don't interrupt your next customer.

Online Florida Real Estate Course at Bargain Prices
Online Florida real estate courses are part of the territory today. A lot of people are taking their required Florida real estate course online. If you want to get a Florida real estate license, you have to take the Florida real estate course online or in a classroom. If a person doesn't have the time to sit in a classroom for sixty hours, taking your Florida real estate course online makes a lot of sense.
You can learn what you need to know from an online real estate course. It has been my observation that most online real estate courses teach you more information than you need to pass the Florida real estate exam. That is because many real estate schools that are teaching Florida real estate courses online are not only teaching you what you need to know to pass the Florida real estate exam, they also teach you a lot of stuff from other states that you don't need to know. It is hard enough to learn what you need to know to pass the Florida without learning what is on other states tests.
Since it has become possible to teach the Florida real estate course online, many people teaching these Florida real estate courses have never even been to Florida. They are not Florida real estate schools. They come to Florida, get a real estate school permit and start teaching" online Florida real estate courses" at bargain prices.
Climer School of Real Estate, my school, has been teaching Florida real estate courses before the internet was invented. I know what is on the Florida real estate exam. I know because I have been studying the Florida real estate exam for thirty years. I teach it. I know it. I understand it.
If you take your Florida real estate course online with Climer School of Real Estate, you will learn what is on the Florida real estate exam. We are not approved to teach classes in any state except Florida. If you are taking your real estate exam in any other state, we have no help to offer you. In Florida you can not find a better school than Climer School of Real Estate. We only have a real estate school permit in Florida. We do have a real estate school permit in Florida. Before you sign up to take a Florida real estate course online, be certain the real estate school has a Florida real estate permit. Check them out at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's website, www.myfloridalicense.com . Also, read their Google reviews. You can read our Google reviews at www.climerrealestateschool.com . Also, find out if there is a fee to retake the exam if you fail it the first time. Also you need to know if they are teaching you a bunch of stuff that is not on the Florida test. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to know that.
Your best bet is to take the Florida real estate course in a classroom in person instead of an online real estate course. Often this is not possible. Do a little research before you choose a Florida online real estate course at a Florida real estate school. The more research you do, the more likely you will choose Climer School of Real Estate for your required Florida real estate course.
No matter where you choose to take your required Florida real estate course online or in a classroom, we have addtionial online help to help you pass your Florida real estate exam given by Pearson Vue. We have free real estate math videos on You Tube to help you pass the Florida real estate exam. Watch these. If you are taking the Florida real estate exam, these nine math videos will help you pass the first time.

If You Are Trying To Decide For Whom To Vote.
Yesterday, we went to see the new movie,"2016". It is a better description of Barrack Obama. I think after seeing this movie, I have a better understanding of our current president.
If you have not seen this movie, take time to go see it. It is definitely worth the price of admission. Understanding Obama's background has helped me in understanding where our country is headed under Obama's leadership. The main theme of the movie is to show the progress he can make between now and 2016. Check it out.

Fill The Ice Trays, If You Want A Cold Drink
Kathy and I just took a week off at our vacation house in Tryon, North Carolina. This is a fabulous house. It has a Viking stove and a Sub Zero refrigerator with no ice maker. It has no ice maker. We have ten ice trays in the freezer. Remember that. I am sure many young people can not remember NOT having an ice maker. If you don't have an ice maker, you have to fill the ice trays with water so you will have ice when you are thirsty and you want a cold drink.
This is so much like selling real estate. Filling the ice trays with water is prospecting. If you don't fill the ice trays with water, when you want a cold drink, there is no ice. What do most people do? They complain, "There is no ice.". You did not fill the ice tray this morning. Of course there is no ice. This is called a natural consequence.
What I like to do is this. Did I tell you we rent this house out through VRBO? http://www.vrbo.com/361170#ownerprofile When we arrive there is usually ten empty ice trays in the freezer. I do not understand why people put empty ice trays in the freezer. If you know the answer to this mystery, leave me a comment and enlighten me. I know for certain that people do this. Where was I? I fill the ten empty ice trays with water. Several hours later, we have ice. When I get thirsty, I go to the freezer and fix myself a cold drink. I like to empty three trays of ice into a plastic bowl and leave it in the freezer. Then there is ice available anytime you want it. That way the ice is almost as convenient as having a ice maker. I fill those trays with water and return them to the freezer.
This works fine as long as only Kathy and I are at the house. When we have other guests, sometimes they don't understand how the ice gets in the plastic bowl. When the plastic bowl is empty, you need to fill it with ice and refill the ice tray with water. If you don't, we will have an ice crisis. It seems so obvious to me. It is not. Many people have a hard time figuring this out. They can only understand that there is no ice. Why is there no ice? There is no ice because no one filled the bowl with ice and refilled the tray with water.
This is selling real estate. If you have no closing scheduled for this week, what is the problem? More importantly, what is the solution? Look and see if there is ice in the tray. Ice in the tray is listings. Ice in the plastic bowl is pendings. Do you have any? Do you have enough? You can check your MLS and find out what per cent of the listing in your MLS will go under contract this month. This is a statical fact. If there is ice in the trays empty it into the bowl and refill the trays. What is filling the trays with water? It is prospecting for listings. Are you prospecting? Are you complaining because there is no ice? There will always be an ice crisis if you don't fill the trays with water. You have to prospect for new listings. Get focused on prospecting. That is where sucess starts. Put some water in the ice tray. Emptying ice from the trays to the bowl is marketing. You have to market your listings. You have to market yourself.
There is no free lunch. There is no icemaker. The water doesn't jump in the tray. The ice doesn't jump in the bowl. It starts with prospecting. Contact some prospects. Put some water in the ice tray. You will have ice when you want a cold drink.
