Training Testimonials

"I had to make a personal decision as to which company to join once I received my real estate license last year. The reason I chose Coldwell Banker United, Realtors (over all others) was because of my expectations for training. You exceeded those expectations, so much so, that I can confidently get out in the market and build my business. I worked for Continental Tire (formerly General Tire), a multi-billion dollar company for 32 years. I participated in many training/educational classes throughout the US and in Europe. Those classes and their instructors pale with respect to the passion and the knowledge that you imparted in your training sessions. Thanks again for making me believe that I made the right choice in joining the Coldwell Banker United, Realtors team!”

“Thank you and your staff for the FastStart™ program. It was an invaluable learning experience and I hope to use the materials to my benefit and that of Coldwell Banker United, Realtors. I also wish to commend Stephanie Fessel, our trainer, for her part in the process. She did a most effective job of combining the theoretical with the practical with the useful. She is a strong member of your team.”

Ken
New agent, Charlotte University office

“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the class. I picked up some great tips and thought-provoking ideas. I know I personally felt energized! Again, I wanted to thank you for your time and effort that you put into the class. I know I learned new techniques. I think all new agents should take it…it pumps you up… and is very helpful, especially if they come from a company that doesn’t have in-house training for agents.”

Lynnette
Experienced agent, Union County office

“Everything in my career has been sales oriented, so needless to say, I have been involved in many more sales seminars with large reputable companies than I care to mention. I must say, I have NEVER enjoyed a class more than I have this one! It was extraordinary! Partly because of the material, but mostly because of Stephanie Fessel, our trainer. She is an excellent communicator, well-informed, organized and empathetic. Most of all, she made it fun! It was just what I needed to get me excited once again about something I have been doing for 10 years. Thank you.”

Charlie
New agent, Columbia, S.C. Irmo office

“As a new sales associate, the quantity and the quality of training and instruction available was one of the leading criteria for associating with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors. The training and instruction that has been given has exceeded the high expectations that were introduced to me in my initial interview. Of particular importance, has been the sales and marketing expertise of a Top Producer that was given during training. This has been a most valuable experience and asset to become a successful real estate sales associate. Thank you for providing this caliber of training expected from the Number One Real Estate Company in America!”

Carlos,
New agent, Charlotte SouthPark office

“During my interview with my prospective manager, he assured me that Coldwell Banker United, Realtors could not only meet my real estate training requirements, but exceed them. It was during this first encounter that I was introduced to Stephanie Fessel who would become my trainer for FastStart. My goal during the four-day class was to organize my thoughts and experience in a way that would empower my real estate career. The days were long and exhausting, but I enjoyed every moment. The material was straight forward, no filler or busy work. We laughed, networked and learned. The sessions were never straight lecture; Stephanie kept the energy level high with recounts of real world experience and role play assignments. I’m confident that by developing the techniques, I will have a long, successful real estate career. My thanks to the Coldwell Banker United, Realtors training team!!”
