Instructor Bio

Joi Bostic

Since Joi Bostic was a little girl, everyone around her would say that she would grow up to teach others. Although she would hold classes with her dolls and stuffed animals, she resisted and protested against a career as a teacher. Her formal education had her on track to enter corporate America in the area of marketing management. However, after college, Joi finally followed her “true calling” and entered the classroom in 1988. Since then she has taught college credit courses, traveled the country delivering workshops and seminars and designed hundreds of courses and workshops. Joi has earned a reputation for Real Estate training as being a thorough, easy-to-understand instructor with humor and practical application. Recently, Joi completed and was awarded the REEA Gold Standard Instructor Certification. Joi’s goal in instructing is to ensure that learning takes place in an enjoyable safe environment and each student walks away with an understanding of the material. In 2021, Joi received the Mary Shern Educator of the Year Award by the Georgia Real Estate Educators Association (GREEA).

Class Description

This program uses the start-up phase of a brokerage practice as a framework to demonstrate the principal that trust-based relationships with clients form the foundation of a successful long term commercial real estate career. Attendees will gain a "big picture" understanding of where brokers fit into the overall real estate community and financial system. The priorities that have led to success are discussed, as well as how to manage time and qualify clients. This program also offers an approach to personal financial management that provides for not only surviving during the start-up phase but also thriving over the course of a long career. CRE brokerage veterans often comment that they wish they'd had this course earlier in their lives, and rookies are provided the client-oriented foundation that is required for a long and successful career.

Class Description

It's a given that slogging through deal points with the "other side" is no easy task, but for real estate brokerage professional's client expectation management on our own side of the negotiating table is often an even more challenging issue. Gaining client trust is often an uphill battle, and real estate's at-risk compensation model doesn't make this any easier. There is also a natural fear that clients will "shoot the messenger" when the need arises to deliver bad news.

This program acknowledges these and may other challenges and offers specific strategies to develop relationships with clients based on mutual trust. The ideas discussed in the program are brought to life with real world stories of negotiations involving leases and sales for clients, large and small.

Veterans who attend this program will come away with language that will help them to win their next sales assignment, and CRE newbies will learn critical skills that will help them to be better client advocates. It's not uncommon for a contract between Buyer and Seller to run for dozens of pages. And yet there are only a handful of key deal point categories that matter the most. In this program attendees learn how to get into the details without being distracted by extraneous issues. In this program we discuss the 3 main phases of a sale and look at the "typical" sales process from the initial introduction of the parties through closing. We then discuss lessons learned by walking step by complicated step through several real-world examples.

Class Description
Surveys show that real estate agents and brokers as compared to other professionals are not always well thought of by the public. Since real estate agents and brokers only get paid on closed transactions, there is a financial incentive to be short sighted and focus on personal financial success instead of client needs. Yet feeling reasonably financially secure themselves puts real estate professionals in the best position to put their client's best interest ahead of their own short-term financial needs and wants. The primary goal of this course is to provide practical tools that real estate brokerage professionals can use to manage their individual financial lives in a responsible way. This program demonstrates that doing the right thing pays off in the long term. Attendees learn to develop the attitudes, create the systems, and internalize the habits necessary to address the inevitability of income volatility.

The profound importance of land is revealed by the opening words of the National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics: "under all is the land". Yet brokering land can be as challenging as it is rewarding. It's fortunate that optimism and the desire to build something new often provide the impetus to buy land, because there are many obstacles to development success: zoning resistance, environmental issues, availability of infrastructure, etc. Using a complex real-world example as a case study, this program provides attendees with the tools to address these and the many other issues that must be successfully addressed to achieve good outcomes for clients in a transaction involving the sale of land.
