Home › Instructor Bio
Nearly every complaint about a course is summed up in the presenter, not the presentation. If you loved a course in school, it's very likely that you loved the teacher teaching it. That is why "who" matters over "what".
Steven's Background
A military veteran, Steven is an instructor for the National Association of REALTORS®. He teaches Seller Representative Specialist, Accredited Buyer's Representative, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, Military Relocation Professional, Pricing Strategy Advisor and several other designation and certification courses that advance a real estate agent's career.
Steven is the Owner and Active Supervising Broker for Dream Home Realty. He is very involved with training and development. He supervises over 100 agents across three states and is involved in personal transactions of his own. This matters in the classroom. Many instructors today, have not done a deal in two decades and aren't personally acquainted with the changes that agents have to face today. Steven brings real life scenarios from the field that he experienced himself or he walked an agent he supervises through.
Steven is a member of ARELLO, the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials, and holds the Certified Distance Education Instructor designation. Steven has taught real estate since 2015 and has helped thousands across the state and nation become licensed real estate agents and successful REALTORS®. His teaching style is practical and clutter-free. His love for real estate is contagious.
Steven and his wife Jenèe both work in the industry together. They have five children and one grandchild. They are real people, living in Louisiana practicing and teaching the business that has been such a large part of who they are today. When you are choosing who to be your instructor, it is important to select one who walks the path that you are learning to navigate.
