Here's what our accomplished graduates are saying...

"I always learn something everytime I get a chance to take one of Barbara’s classes. She is absolutely the best teacher a title agent can have! Thanks!!! "

"I have attended many CE Seminars since 1994 and I have always looked forward to the ones Barbara would be presenting. The new online seminars are convenient, well presented, informative and priced right. And there seem to be new classes offered on a regular basis, along with the right classes needed to fulfill compliance requirements. "

"Hello Barbara: I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed you at the Old Republic Seminar, you are such a great speaker, you kept everyone entertained and most of all informed. "

"My wife, who has been an escrow officer for 21 years looked at your endorsement book, and simply said “wow, finally a book on endorsements written in English”"

"We need to train personnel with your kind of common sense teaching and applied humor."

"Your online courses were a perfect option for someone who can never seem to tear away to make a live seminar. Thanks for reporting my hours to the Department so quickly. It already registered and I’ve received confirmation on it. Very expedient!! "

"Great Program!!! Well done and very informative. I really enjoyed your online course – it was interesting and painless to take. "

"Your online course was great and super informative! "

"I wanted to thank you for your portions of the seminar (you could have done the whole thing) which was entertaining and informative. Your teaching is excellent! I bought copies of both your books, which also reflect your humor as well. I could take Barbara P. Burke classes all day! Thanks again for an enjoyable seminar!"

Home Values in the United States Record Best Rates Since 2006

Homeowners experienced the first yearly increase in their property values since 2006. Real estate prices have increased by 6 per cent on average in the entire country. Zillow Inc., a data tracking company, revealed that that home values in the US will increase by a total of $1.3 trillion and bring the cumulative price of residential properties to a staggering $23.7 come the end of 2012. The firm also added that real estate in the US decreased by almost $800 billion in value during 2011.

The anticipated profit this year mark the first yearly rise in the past six years, when home values in the country increased by a total of $483 billion. Incidentally, that was the period prior to the burst of the subprime home loan bubble in the year that followed, inflicting an economy slowdown and recession remembered to this very day.

In mid-December 2012, the NAR (National Association of Realtors) reported that the average worth of a home in the United States was worth over $180,000 in December 2012, marking an increase of ten per cent as compared to the same period last year. Comparing the real estate situation with its neighbors, an average home in Canada was worth a little over $356,000 last month – an increase of 0.8 per cent as compared to 2011. The Real Estate Association of Canada revealed that Canadian properties were expected to rise by 0.3 per cent by the end of 2012.
