With so many real estate schools in the Tampa Bay area offering classroom courses, why should I choose you?
I wish I had asked this question before choosing the school I did when I became a licensed real estate agent! I chose a well known and popular real estate school for
my pre-license education and my experience was a horrible one! The Instructor was there for a paycheck and not because of a passion for teaching. He was more concerned with his current real estate business and not my future, for which I invested several hundred dollars. I knew I could do better and I was not even licensed yet! Zenith is MY school, MY passion, and I teach every single class. I am very much invested in YOUR success because YOUR success is also MY success. I am not interested in becoming so large that I have multiple classroom locations with extra instructors. I keep my class sizes to a minimum so that you won't get lost in a crowd and I can make sure that you understand the topics needed to pass the state exam. I am just as much invested as you are in your future!
