TESTIMONIALS FROM REALTORS (unedited)
"Exceptionally thought through and produced by ProDio!!!!! I enjoyed the relaxing background music that was chosen for several segments. I especially appreciated the Jimmy Kimmel Live bit about texting which added humour to the course. All the speakers were engaging and Kim Spencer was his usual compelling self as the host. It is highly fluid and informative. I definitely recommend this course to all. If this was a film review it would read 'I was on the edge of my seat the entire hour!' "
"Fantastic course and fun to listen to. The different snippets from various professionals broke up the content and make it more enjoyable to work through all the material. Great job Kim et al in putting this together."
