• Can't I find this information on the Internet for free?
  Not really. You can find a ton of information on the Internet, but not all of it is useful. You also run the risk of information overload. We filter through the information on the Internet to share what is useful, and what actually works.

• My broker's office offers a free blogging class - why should I take yours?
  If you've provided free homebuyer education seminars, you know that imparting knowledge is not the primary goal of free seminars. The primary goal of free seminars is to persuade the participants of the presenter's expertise so that they will buy a product or service. Since our class is fee-based training, we can focus 100% of our time on imparting knowledge.
