MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. — Weichert, Realtors® has announced that, to continue providing comprehensive online training to its experienced and new sales associates, it is extending its contract with Learn.com, the leader in providing on-demand e-learning.
Weichert currently offers online approximately 30 real-estate specific courses, and more than 160 technology courses—Microsoft® Office and ACT!—to help sales associates in company-owned and franchise offices improve their skills and make optimal use of their time. Weichert also provides additional online resources for sales office managers. Weichert’s e-learning courses are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through an internal website, and they supplement classroom training at Weichert Headquarters campus and regional training facilities, the company said. New associates attend an intensive three-week training session to help them start their real estate careers, where they learn Weichert methods that smooth the way to building business. In addition, the company’s Mentor Program teams each new sales associate with an experienced Sales Associate Mentor for guidance in enhancing productivity.
“The Weichert Family of Companies is one of the largest privately held real estate companies in the United States,” said Mary Banen, vice president of training and development at Weichert, Realtors. “We provide full service, one-stop shopping and personalized attention to our customers, and we invest heavily in training to ensure our sales associates—new and experienced—have the skills and knowledge to provide the highest quality service to buyers and sellers.”
“From the day our first office opened in 1969, we have built our services around helping customers achieve their home ownership dreams,” said Kimberly Bahn, Director of Operations and Infrastructure at Weichert University. “We recognize the critical role that our people play in making this happen, so we’re committed to helping our associates be the best they can be. Services like Learn.com’s client support, free weekly training sessions and monthly Best Practices Webinars help us keep our online courses successful.”
Weichert said its e-learning courses address a wide range of topics, from connecting with customers through the Internet to the legal aspects of real estate to finance. To date, our sales associates and company employees have completed close to 75,000 online courses, an integral part of Weichert’s comprehensive training programs.
The company recently extended its original 2-year contract with Learn.com for an additional 5 years.
