Although I somewhat dreaded entering a classroom for two straight weeks, I thoroughly enjoyed The Academy. The curriculum is well structured and timed to include open discussion and have all questions asked and answered. I left The Academy with not only an education on the business of real estate but also on the inner-workings of Long Realty Company and its wonderful family members.
Baron is an excellent instructor and facilitator!
This class was very well delivered! Baron explained the details of the BINSR in a very clear manner. His presentation included a step-by-step PowerPoint which he also printed and handed out to the class. He was always open to discussion but kept the class on point and on time.
It was a great class - lots of useful information. Baron is an inspiring instructor and has great stories. Thanks so much and I look forward to attending another of your classes soon. :-)
You can tell that Baron was once a teacher. He is well prepared and can easily keep a class focused and interactive. He's friendly and never hesitates to answer questions. I truly enjoyed the class and learned a great deal from him. His knowledge and expertise made me feel motivated.
Baron is an excellent instructor. He's engaging, humorous, disciplined, professional and knowledgeable. His course material is well organized, relevant and interesting. He tells a story in his teaching, weaving personal experiences with the lesson of the hour. You've hardly known you just got taught something--he's that good!!!
And, best of all, he's a good human being.
I cannot fathom starting this exciting career without attending the academy. Baron and the Long Academy gave me the basic tools and confidence to hit the ground running. I don't believe any other agency provides these tools, so Long Agents are already ahead of the pack. I actually obtained a client my first week out using the tools and techniques I learned in academy.
While 10 days of Academy was grueling and a total brain overload at the time, it was well worth it. I don't see how anyone passing their state exam could possibly function in the real estate world without the training we received at the Academy. I know I learned a lot (and am still learning every day) as I did my first open house, wrote my first purchase offer and took my first listing. The training I received in the Academy prepared me for all of these functions and so much more.
Congratulations and thanks to you, Baron, and all the others who gave presentations and training to us.
I choose to learn from the best. When it comes to learning how to be a Realtor, Baron Gauna is that person—he’s skillful, humble, passionate, teaching from personal experience, and excited to show you the way. What he teaches you will help you improve your skills as a real estate agent, during the course and beyond. Learn well, my friends.
Baron consistently presents information so dynamically~ I get the nuts and bolts as well as the always interesting nuances. In discussing the BINSR, the continual tie-in to the contract through systematic communication was beautifully illustrated, and the effectiveness, well, let's just say this will take my BINSRs to the next level. Thank you, Baron!
