'Certified Real Estate Consultant' Course Launches Nationwide

March 26, 2026 - 00:24

A new educational initiative, the "Certified Real Estate Consultant" course, is now launching across the country. This program is specifically designed to transform the public perception of real estate agents, moving from a transactional role to that of a trusted advisor.

Developed by industry veterans Anthony Lamacchia and Allan Dalton, with support from RISMedia, the curriculum focuses on deepening an agent's consultative skills. The goal is to equip professionals with advanced knowledge and frameworks that prioritize long-term client relationships and comprehensive guidance over simple sales processes.

Proponents of the course argue that the real estate landscape demands a higher standard of service. By achieving this certification, agents can distinguish themselves in a competitive market, signaling to consumers a commitment to expertise, ethics, and a client-first advisory approach. This nationwide launch marks a significant step in an ongoing effort to professionalize the industry and enhance the value agents provide to the public, potentially raising the bar for service standards across the board.
