The North Carolina Real Estate Commission Has Invited Me To Come Speak At Their Next Meeting

     On November 15, 2016, I received an email from Corean Hamlin, a staff member of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.  Do you want to hear some good news?  The NCREC is considering repealing rule 58 C.0605.  

                                                                                              

First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     This is the rule that requires a new real estate instructor applicant to submit an hour long video of their teaching style to the staff of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.  If you have an instructor license in North Carolina that you received since 2000, you have been through this ritual.  I don't know what your experience was.  Here is a link to my unpleasant experience. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2016/09/my-process-to-get-my-north-carolina.html    I got my final permanent approval on November 14, 2016.

I have already prepared and practiced my short presentation that I want to make to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPB0ZIwKWk8  

     I want you to join me if you feel, as I do, that the licensing bureau does not need to watch a video of an instructor to determine if that instructor is qualified to hold a instructor's license

     There is this wonderful filter in the free enterprise system in America called "the market". This is the system that is used in most other states.  The market will tell us pretty quickly if an instructor is bad.  If an instructor is dull and ineffective and boring,  that instructor will not be able to get a job.  If  a real estate instructor is bad, they will not have any students.

     The staff of the NCREC does not need to waste their time watching a video of every instructor that applies for a license.  That job should be left to the school director.  Why would a school director hire a dull, boring real estate instructor?  They would not.  If they did by accident, they would get rid of that ineffective instructor quickly.  Need I remind anyone that a real estate school is a business? 

     In today's world of Twitter and Facebook and Google reviews and You Tube videos, students know who is a good instructor and who is a bad instructor.  Why would the licensing bureau want to evaluate instructors?  The market does that for the commission in the other forty nine states.

      

     Please, join me at the December 14, 2016 North Carolina Real Estate Commission meeting.  If you can not attend, you can send in a written opinion. Join me and tell the NCREC that you think the school director can tell a bad instructor from a good instructor.  We do not need the staff of the NCREC to evaluate instructors and withdraw their license if the licensing bureau does not like their style of teaching.

     If you are in the real estate school business in North Carolina, you are not too busy to read that email and the eighteen page attachment that came from Corean Hamlin on November 15th.  Read it.  Join me at the December 14th meeting of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.

     If you disagree with me, if you like the staff of the NCREC having the power to take some one's instructor license because they don't like that instructor's style, come to the meeting or write a letter and let the NCREC know how you feel.   If you agree with me, show up at the meeting.  Talk to the Commission.  Let's get this rule 58 C.0605 repealed and not replaced with 58 H . 0305, an even worse version. 

     I will be staying at the Hyatt Place North Raleigh Midtown at 1105 Navaho Drive right across the street from the Commission's office.  I will be having dinner alone.  If you would like to join me and compare notes, call me at 828 755 6996.  This is the same hotel I stayed at when I attended the Instructor Development Workshop in September.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2016/09/instructor-develpoment-workshop-from.html

     Please, join me at the December 14th meeting .  This opportunity will not come again soon.  Read Corean's email and the 18 page attachment.  I look forward to seeing you on the 14th of December.  If you are a real estate instructor, please leave a comment to this article.
