STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – The Staten Island Board of Realtor’s (SIBOR) educational wing is a proven gateway to success for those seeking to begin or advance a career in real estate.
Real estate professionals attend a lecture at the Richmond County Real Estate Institute.
Launched in September of 1980, the Richmond County Real Estate Institute held its first class at Snug Harbor, Livingston. It has the distinction of being the first school in New York state to be operated by a local real estate board, and the first of its kind to run independently of a college or university.
Today, located under the roof of SIBOR headquarters, 1535 Richmond Ave., Bulls Head, the institute continues to offer a professional environment, with qualified teachers and state-of- the-art instructional equipment that encourage students to succeed.
Over more than three decades, thousands of students have attended classes at the school, successfully completing one or more of its many state-approved programs.
The Richmond County Real Estate Institute offers a variety of classes designed to launch or enhance the careers of real estate professionals. Courses help students qualify as New York state-licensed sales people and brokers, and prepare them for official designations, such as graduate, realtor institute (GRI); certified residential specialist (CRS); certified international property specialist (CIPS), and others.
In addition, the school offers an array of professional-enhancement classes such as: Basic Taxes; How to Prepare for a Home Inspection; Office Building Management; Notary Public, to name just a few. The institute even provides defensive-driving classes.
