Mentor to launch real estate course
Mentor Education Group will launch a course in real estate in response to calls from accountants, brokers and financial planners as they move to a ‘one-stop-shop’ service model.
Mentor founder and managing director, Mark Sinclair, said almost every personal and business financial services related activity is influenced in property, whether it be aspiring home-owners, self-managed super fund members or seniors seeking to downsize.
“Hence the call by advice practitioners to enhance their knowledge in this field to better understand and incorporate their client’s property investments into holistic plans and asset allocation strategies,” he said.
The course was developed in partnership with principal of MAB5 Property Network, Mario Bertone, and would be supplemented with workshops, career nights, networking opportunities and short courses.
On completion of the course, graduates would meet the educational requirements to apply for accreditation as real estate agents representatives in Victoria.
