Background
The program was born back in 2014, when the RE/MAX New York Region wanted to implement commercial training for the residential agents and ask JM Padron to prepare a program in six (6) modules to be presented. At the time JM Padron was a very successful Commercial Real Estate Broker in South Florida, also handling the training and education for his agents. Mr. Padron realized at that time there was a missing link, between starting from scratch in commercial real estate and going for a CCIM, SIOR or MRICS designation, therefore Mr. Padron designed and implemented all the material introducing the important concepts associated with actual real practice transactions.
The program in modules was well accepted, however, the time to be able to grab the six modules was too lengthy, therefore we shrank the program in a four-day class, 3-1/2 days of teaching and ½ day for the final exam. At the time, the program was 100% presential.

If you are already a Broker or licensed Salesperson, you know for a fact that you can transact different property types: Condos, Single Family Homes, Luxury and Duplexes. Some agents sell/lease them all; and some others specialize in a particular type, such as the Luxury Market. The real estate license allows agents legally practice commercial real estate even though they do not possess the competency. However, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) code of ethics, presents very clear in Article 11:
“The services which REALTORS® provide to their clients and customers shall conform to the standards of practice and competence which are reasonably expected in the specific real estate disciplines in which they engage; specifically, residential real estate brokerage, real estate property management, commercial and industrial real estate brokerage, land brokerage, real estate appraisal, real estate counseling, real estate syndication, real estate auction, and international real estate. REALTORS® shall not undertake to provide specialized professional services concerning a type of property or service that is outside their field of competence unless they engage the assistance of one who is competent on such types of property or service, or unless the facts are fully disclosed to the client. Any persons engaged to provide such assistance shall be so identified to the client and their contribution to the assignment should be set forth.”
Therefore, a real estate license must acquire the competence or engage the assistance of one who is competent in the commercial real estate field or must disclosed the client that the commercial real estate practice is outside their scope of business. This program will drive you thru the concepts and exercises to a clear understanding of the commercial real estate practice.
