One of the requirements of keeping a real estate license active is to earn continuing education units (CEU) . The number of CEU an agent needs depends on each state's license law. With just a little bit of planning, a real estate agent can meet all the licensing requirements without spending any money. And, even better, they won't be required to think.
Core Curriculum for the Newly Introduced STUPID Designation

Upon successful completion of each class, measured by being in your seat the whole time, agents will be awarded the STUPID designation, be entitled to display STUPID on all marketing materials and receive the coveted STUPID pin. (Logo designs being accepted now.)
Now for the legal stuff. Any resemblance to other logos or pins past or present is purely coincidental as is an resemblance to actual course titles and descriptions. This is a work of fiction and it is unlikely that anyone will take responsibility for it so don't bother asking.
I am curious if there has been an Education Foundation set up to provide needy agents with grants to attend these classes? If not I would like to donate my services to start the foundation.
KK – thanks for stepping up to the plate. As always you are willing to give of yourself to help other succeed. We can start working on this right away. . . of course the agents might not be “needy” if they got some education but that isn’t the type of idea that we like to publish here on the weenie.
