New Hudson Gateway Associaton of Realtors to Offer Weekend Licensing Classes

Jan. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- The newly formed Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR)*, the second largest REALTOR® Association in New York, will be offering weekend real estate licensing classes beginning in 2012.     The HGAR* School of Real Estate will be the only REALTOR® school in the region to offer these classes on the weekends.

“In response to growing consumer demand, we decided to institute these classes on the weekends,” said Eileen Taus, Director of Education.  “This will be especially helpful for those individuals who work full time and cannot attend day classes or those with young children who would find it difficult to attend evening classes.”

The first weekend Salesperson Real Estate Licensing Class is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, 2012 and will run on Saturdays and Sundays, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through May 20, 2012.

HGAR* also offers a licensing class from January 17, 2012 through  March 20, 2012, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 9:45 pm.  Online classes are also available at www.wpar.com.

The HGAR* School of Real Estate is one of the largest and most successful real estate schools in the state, offering classes at its White Plains, West Nyack and Goshen locations.

In addition to licensing classes, HGAR’s* School of Real Estate offers a myriad of continuing education classes every year on subject matter as diverse as property tax grievance, short sales, foreclosures, fair housing, financial skills, appraisals, credit, ethics and much more.

Founded in 1970, the former WPAR School of Real Estate offers a faculty of more than 30 instructors, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields of expertise, and were instrumental in developing New York’s current real estate licensing curriculum.
The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) is a not-for-profit trade association covering over 9,000 real estate professionals doing business in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange counties.   HGAR is comprised of the former Westchester Putnam Association of REALTORS® (WPAR), Rockland County Board of REALTORS® (RCBR) and Orange County Association of REALTORS® (OCAR).  All three groups voted to merge into the new HGAR* group earlier this year.   The name change is pending approval by the National Association of REALTORS. ®
