Selling Real Estate Education

[Ubaldo M Gomez]

Why are so many real estate seminars everywhere selling real estate education? Selling the education to the curious is easier than actually doing real estate deals, so it seems. Many go to these seminars buying expensive education packages lead to more buying packages is never ending. Has it been like that for many of you? I mean if real estate deals were that easy, no one would be selling the information but keep it to themselves.

Anytime someone asks me if they should buy a program, I tell them to find some real estate to buy with the money instead.  They'll learn more from the lumps, and at least if they buy something, there's a chance when they're done, they will have something of value.

In my experience, most coursework is a 3-ring binder with 40 pages in it, printed in 24 point font.  You can't charge a price low enough for that to be of any value to anyone but the 'guru' shilling it.

I feel more and more like Americans value 'education' above anything else, at the expense of everything else.  Experience is so compelling, but it requires that you do it.
