Instructor Norm Willoughby explains 1031 “like-kind” exchanges.
Several Illinois REALTORS® staff members sat in on a portion of a pre-license course Friday in Springfield with Central Illinois Board of REALTORS® CEO and licensed instructor Norm Willoughby.
The session allowed Vice President Professional Development Kristen Butcher, CMP, and several members of her staff to ask Willoughby questions and review content while sharpening their real estate knowledge. Other staff members included REALTOR® Education Manager Carrie Elliott, Education Specialist Aniya Lathan, Education Supervisor Christi Walden and Director of Operations Cathy Madaus.
Willoughby simulated a portion of an Illinois REALTORS® class taught online through the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, offered by Eastern Illlinois University. Find out more about the pre-license courses.
“Reviewing the course with our staff not only improves their knowledge about the profession but helps them serve our members better,” says Butcher.
