Four things we brought home from D.C.

Brokerage leaders spent a lot of time talking about AI, a shifting market, and the future of the industry. Four ideas stood out to us as a school serving the Low Country.

One, technology is a tool and not a replacement. AI can make agents faster, but it cannot replace local knowledge and the trust that is built face to face.

Two, go back to the basics. When the market gets noisy, strong agents return to relationships and the people they already know.

Three, quality over quantity. Many of the leaders we heard from are thinking about how to bring the next generation of agents into the business, and how to make sure they are well trained.

Four, know your value. Agents need to be able to clearly explain everything they do for a client, from the first showing to closing day.

That is why our pre-licensing course is taught in person. The fundamentals are best learned alongside real instructors and classmates. We also will be offering continuing education for licensed agents (in-person or computer-based).

Thinking about a career in real estate? We would love to talk with you.

Leaders from regional and national real estate organizations were asked how they are finishing the year in a slower market, and their answers kept coming back to the same thing. Fundamentals. Many agents built their business on speed and never learned how to price, prepare, and position a property. The leaders in that room said the answer is to get back to the basics, keep learning, and invest in people.

That is exactly why we do what we do. Great agents are built on strong foundations, and those foundations start in the classroom. Our pre-licensing course is taught in person, so future agents learn the fundamentals alongside real instructors and classmates. For agents who are already licensed, we will be offering continuing education (in-person or computer-based).

Thinking about a career in real estate? We would love to talk with you.

Last week we traveled to Washington, D.C. for the RISMedia CEO & Leadership Exchange.

Surrounded by leaders from real estate organizations across the country, we listened, learned, and made some great new connections. We are bringing a few ideas home to the Low Country, and we will be sharing the ones that stuck with us over the next few days.

Stay tuned. We think future agents and licensed agents alike will want to hear them.

Urban Tide Xchange offers in-person pre-licensing and continuing education for licensed agents.

People deciding whether to become a real estate agent often don't know half of what they need to make an informed decision.

Yes, they know about the 75-hour course and the exam. And they know every cheap online option for the course.

But when we ask how long they'd be comfortable waiting for their first commission check, they get quiet. Same when we ask how they'll hit their income goals on part-time hours around a full-time job, or what they expect to spend in their first year.

That's completely normal. You don't know what you don't know.

So why doesn't anyone talk about this? Why isn't more information shared openly about what it takes, not just to get licensed, but to build a profitable and sustainable business as an agent?

That's exactly why we created "Before You Enroll: What Every Future Agent Needs to Know," and it's COMPLETELY FREE.

Inside you'll learn:

How to tell if real estate is the right career for you (before you spend money on getting licensed)
What to look for in a school beyond price
How to figure out what this career will cost you in the first year, in both time and money
When to start talking to brokerages and what to ask
What to do now to turn a license into a profitable business

Meet Beth Lynah Vickers!

After 20 years in the classroom, she started over.

Beth spent two decades teaching math before making the jump into real estate in 2017. She didn't expect to find a way to bring both careers together, but that's exactly what happened. Swipe through to read her answer the questions people ask most about making a change like this.

Beth is one of the instructors teaching with UTX, serving the Low Country.

Meet Alex Canfield!

Alex is a GREC-Approved Instructor and Real Estate Broker with more than 15 years of experience, and he brings all of it into the classroom. His teaching style is built on practical, real-world application, helping students understand what building an actual career in real estate looks like.

Before real estate, Alex spent 22 years as a firefighter and paramedic, experience that shaped the discipline and problem-solving skills he brings to every class.

Outside the classroom, Alex is a family man at heart, married since 2003 and a proud father of one. When he's got free time, you'll find him on the golf course or cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs and West Virginia Mountaineers.

We're so glad to have him on the UTX team!
