Premiere Education

As the word indicates, a PREMIERE should be a public performance, or more so, a first performance. We pride our education on having something to offer, whether its the first time you have taken a course, or the 10th. We strive to have each class offer the newest and most relevant information available. While the core of the class will remain the same, the application of use of the content by students should be current with the market, location, and changes in technology and the industry as a whole.

Beginning in 2005....

I became flustered, realizing how many people were passing the state real estate exam but had little to know practical knowledge in a transaction. While all new licensees are intended to have a high level of supervision, the reality is, most of us learned through trial and error. I wanted to make a change in our community, so I began teaching pre-license courses. Doing this for several years helped me build a very strong base knowledge of real estate practice and the need for more detailed knowledge for brokers. Shortly after this I started teaching the annual commission update course for CO, and quickly realized that the issue wasn’t just with newer licensees, but in how many of us had been taught and continued to function under the premise of “that’s how we’ve always done it”. Realizing how ever-changing the real estate industry is, not just in the market, but in technology and general best practices (which are in continuous flux), I felt I had a calling. I expanded my course offerings into a wide variety of core competency topics, all with a base in ethical practice. This has driven the expectations I place on myself, my brokers, and my students, to always be open to a better practices.

Our Mission

To Raise the standard of real estate practice by developing professionals who lead with competence, communicate with clarity, and serve with integrity - ensuring consumers receive the informed guidance they deserve and professionals build businesses worthy of lasting trust.

Our Courses

Here are the classes currently offered in Colorado (Courses in italics are approved in multiple states):

** “Fun with Contracts” Residential Contract Full Review

6 Hours CE

​ (This will be Current as of the most recent COLORADO Purchase Contract) This is not just a quick review of changes from the past few years, but rather a full line by line review of the purchase contract to provide a rundown of common pitfalls and errors made by brokers while filling out and presenting the contract. This class is NOT designed to teach how to fill in the blanks, but to have a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of each component of the contract, liabilities that we hold as brokers and ways to protect yourself and your client in both the drafting and presentation of offers. We will discuss which contracts to use and when to use them, which addendums should be used in various situations. There is a lot of discussion about issues that impact reviewing the contract with clients to avoid surprises and avoiding common errors that occur with e-contracts. This is a class that is meant to offer deeper understanding for supervising brokers, to assist associate brokers with being able to complete a contract with fewer questions, to help newer associates have a better understanding of their responsibility and for seasoned brokers to recognize bad habits they may have fallen into to avoid liability in the future!

*** “Turn in your OLDCAR for a NEWCAR: Buyer and Seller Listing Agreements / Disclosures"
Understanding Agency / TB and Disclosures

6 Hours CE
Raising the Bar: Mastering Listing & Buyer Agreements with NEWCAR
Your value as a broker isn’t in the paperwork — it’s in how you use it to protect and guide your clients. This interactive, 6-hour course takes you beyond the traditional OLDCAR duty checklist into the NEWCAR principles that align today’s best fiduciary practices with modern client expectations. You’ll compare buyer and seller agreements side-by-side, master the broker disclosure process, and tackle the real-world challenges of material defect vs. stigma disclosures. The result? Higher trust, stronger compliance, and clients who understand exactly why you’re worth hiring again.

This is also a full run down of the buyer and seller listing contracts(s), what brokers should make sure they gather at the time of the listing and have represented in this agreement. In better understanding your role, you will be able to better communicate what you can and will do for your client, more effectively, raising your value, as well as having more competence in your roles, which will reduce liability and gain more client loyalty.   This class will use the most current forms, including any new listing and buyer broker contracts approved the end of this year!

*** “We’re under contract…now what? YOUR JOB!”: (Due Diligence):

3-4 Hours CE

Many clients believe the work we do is in finding a property and writing the offer! Think again.
In "We’re Under Contract… Now What?" you’ll learn specific steps that turn you from “just another real estate salesperson” into a trusted advisor for life by walking your clients through the process that builds their best interest and the highest level of informed consent into the transaction process that will separate you from your competition in client value and depth of knowledge.
We’ll cover key contract provisions, client communication strategies, and the YOUR JOB framework that keeps deals moving and liability low. We’ll dive into inspection strategies, financing pitfalls, title / survey, appraisal, etc conditions, how to object and explore resolution options, and the exact provisions you can’t afford to overlook. Deals don’t fall apart because of the market — they fall apart because of what happens after the contract. This course will give you a clear, repeatable process to guide your clients from accepted offer to successful closing, while staying compliant with state law. You’ll leave ready to deliver real value that clients remember.

Then the class will delve into the complexities of Multiple Offer situations as well as working in a variable rate commission scenario.

N.A.R. Ethics

4 Hours CE

Don’t be left exposed! This course will help you learn ways to properly.

Competency Yields Advantage (CYA) in Transitional Markets:

3 Hours CE

As our market continues to change and shift, many of us have realized that some of the habits and practices we fell into could create liability if we don’t change to keep up! Working in a market where one offer may be a multiple offer and the next a short sale, it forces us to have to modify how we prepare, present, and advise our buyers and sellers through transactions. This course will build a higher level of competence in understanding our duties and diligence through the contract process to ensure our clients, and therefore we, are doing what we can to avoid future liabilities and for us to be able to stand sure that we are acting within the Ethical standards we’ve subscribed to abide by. Avoiding contract fall out, understanding the reasoning behind WHY we should be running comps on every listing / offer, establishing due diligence's that have been overlooked for the past few years (inspection, survey, appraisal, etc.), and what we can do to improve our communication with our consumers to ensure a higher level of informed consent are skills every student should build on in this class!

N.A.R. Ethics and Fair Housing
5 Hours CE

As of 2025 all REALTORS need BOTH Ethics as well as Fair Housing. This course gives you both — in one high-impact session.
N.A.R. Ethics & Fair Housing: Real-World Compliance for REALTORS® is not a rule-recitation course. It’s an interactive, scenario-based training designed to help you:

• Navigate procuring cause and dispute resolution
• Avoid hidden Fair Housing pitfalls in language, ads, and practice
• Strengthen broker-to-broker and client communication

Most classes are all theory, no practice. This one’s different.
We’ll break down the Code of Ethics articles that trip agents up most often, connect them directly to Fair Housing compliance, and give you real-world tools to protect yourself and your clients.
From bias override exercises to mock arbitration, you’ll walk away with skills you can use immediately. You have to take Ethics and Fair Housing anyhow— but what if those classes could actually grow your business? You will learn how to better strengthen client trust, and handle disputes like a pro. We cover real-world scenarios, bias and language awareness, and how to navigate broker-to-broker professionalism with confidence.
