April 08, 2008 // Franchising.com // MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. - Weichert, Realtors®, one of the nation's largest privately held real estate companies, announced it will now offer a real estate auction course through the Weichert Real Estate School. Weichert is the first real estate school in New Jersey to offer the newly-developed class, titled "Introduction to Real Estate Auction."

Developed by the Auction Department of the National Association of REALTORS®, "Introduction to Real Estate Auction" has been designed specifically for real estate professionals who are interested in introducing real estate auction to their sellers and buyers and working effectively in an auction environment. The course is not intended to certify or accredit real estate professionals to be auctioneers, but students who wish to pursue a career as an auctioneer should note that this course counts as the first day of the six day National Association of Auctioneers (NAA) Accredited Auctioneer Real Estate (AARE) designation.

"At the Weichert Real Estate School, we take pride in remaining at the forefront of real estate education with our cutting-edge courses and resources," said Lou Cecconi, director of the Weichert Real Estate School in New Jersey. "With statistics indicating a dramatic increase in the popularity of the real estate auction, we felt that it was necessary to provide interested real estate professionals in New Jersey with access to a course on the topic."
