Terry Shortt, owner of TW Shortt and Associates announced that they have partnered with Dearborn Real Estate Education to begin offering online real estate related course using the RECAMPUS platform.
Dearborn, the nation’s premier real estate education provider since 1960, developed RECAMPUS (recampus.com) to meet the needs of the growing number of students turning to online education. Well established Florida schools such as Gold Coast Real Estate School, Cooke Real Estate School, and Bob Hogue along with many community colleges and universities are authorized providers of the RECAMPUS online real estate training products in Florida.
According to Terry Shortt, owner of TW Shortt and Associates, Florida real estate licensees and prospective licensees are turning to online schools for pre-license, post-license and continuing education because many “brick and mortar” schools have limited their schedules.
By partnering with RECAMPUS, “we have positioned ourselves to be the online school of choice for people seeking a Florida real estate sales associate or brokers’ license as well as continuing education and the Florida reactivation course.” says Shortt.
Partnering with RECAMPUS also gives the school access to other high quality real estate training products and books. The RECAMPUS Home Inspection online course is expected to be among the most popular courses offered. Students can study online to become a Home Inspector and potentially start their own home inspection business. Currently in Florida, no license is required for this trade.
Professional development courses in contemporary topics like Mortgage Fraud and Predatory Lending and How to understand and improve Your Credit Scores, are also available from TW Shortt at the company’s website, ClassesFormingNow.com.
The company, which is licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR) to offer courses for credit is led by Terry Shortt. Shortt, a licensed broker for over two decades, is an experienced sales agent, brokerage manager, property manager and subdivision developer who has also served as President of the local board of REALTORS. “Training real estate agents has always been my passion” says Shortt. “The most enjoyable period of my career was when I was recruiting, training and coaching agents in order to build our first real estate company, TW Shortt and Associates-Better Homes and Gardens”
“We are excited about the partnership with RECAMPUS and we look forward to a long and prosperous business relationship offering high quality online real estate training products to prospective and active real estate agents in Florida” says Shortt.
