A CAREER FORTUNE STUDENT:

I've taken Fortune Academy's classes throughout my career for initial licensing, post licensing, broker and continuing education.  What I've found is consistency.  Their manuals, instructors and presentation are second to none.  The majority of our top producers started their career by attending a Fortune class.  I can't help but recommend Fortune, when I have numerous multi-million dollar producers who took their first step in their now successful career with Fortune.

I had the good fortune of attending Fortune Academy for my Pre-Licensing training in 2002.  Unsure if the Real Estate industry was where I fit, the instructors and class leadership made the decision very easy for me.  I was extremely prepared for the state test and I have since been very successful, due in part to the start that Fortune Academy gave me.

Paul, Denise and the Fortune Team, 

        Yesterday I successfully passed the SC Brokers exam.  I wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me to reach the pinnacle in the real estate world.  It not would have been possible without you.  I passed the exam with flying colors on my first attempt!  Come to think of it, I always have passed the state required exams that I prepped for at Fortune on the first attempt, and so has my wife who became a Realtor yesterday, again thanks to you and your staff!  You’re the BEST!!  That’s why my wife and I only use you guys for our real estate educational needs.  We are always fully prepared for what lies ahead on the exams and feel confident when we step into the exam room.  Fortune has made that possible.  We are truly blessed to have you guys so conveniently located to us and  you always have the most convenient times scheduled for classes.  That’s why the only link for a real estate school on our website is yours as it always will be.  My wife Ashly will be signing up for her 30 hours of post licensing with you soon. 

Thanks again for everything and may God continue to bless you and everyone else at Fortune!  

 

Warmest Regards, 

Tony and Ashly Coombs

Dear Fortune Management,

    Thanks for putting together one of the most efficient and effective training programs I've ever seen.  Your Real Estate Licensing Program was exactly what I needed.

    I took the class for a slightly different reason than most.  I invest in real estate and over the years have left many thousands of dollars on the table simply because I wasn't licensed to represent myself.  Your program has changed that.  Even though I always found my own properties to buy and sell, I never collected any of the "commission." 

    A surprise happened in your classes as well.  I expected to be "under-challenged" by learning to be a Real Estate Agent since I'd been buying and selling property for years.  Well, each and every session your instructors presented was filled with new and interesting information.  It was presented in a dynamic and very participative fashion.  And the "funny parts" were actually funny!

    Thanks for taking the time and effort to make what could have been a dry and uninteresting program into a series of courses that prepared me perfectly to get my SC Real Estate license.

    You're a Pro!  And having taught leadership and customer service to more than 125,000 managers in 8 nations since 1989, I believe I'm qualified to put Fortune Academy and your instructors in that highest category of competence and commitment.

Blessings!

Dear Fortune:

I wanted to thank the entire staff of Fortune Academy for making my pre-licensing experience an easy one. 

Your facility was well run and my teachers were very knowledgeable (especially John H).

Also enjoyed the snacks you offered during breaks J

I I feel like am going into the State Exam with confidence and knowledge.

Thanks again,

"Fortune has a highly knowledgeable staff) who make learning fun.  I definitely recommend the two week pre-licensing 'crash course' for those who can make the time commitment.  I found that it was much easier to focus ALL my attention on the subject, and I had strong results due to that focus.  I felt VERY prepared for the PSI exam, and blazed through it with no hesitation."

Denise, John and Dick,. 

Thank you so much for the class.  It was a joy to attend and all the info covered was made easy to understand.  Your instructors are top notch.  I have a Baccalaureate degree and have had lots of education from other instructors, your teachers could show them all a thing or two.  Please use me for any and all references pertaining to the pre-licensing class.  I have nothing but praise.  Please keep me in your thoughts while I prepare for the State test, I will do my best to make Fortune Academy proud.

Dear Fortune Management:

I have taken the real estate license course in 2 other states prior to taking your program. Your program was by far the most informative and enjoyable class. The material was presented by very knowledgeable instructors who helped make the information "real world" as well as understandable. The class room was very comfortable, especially the chairs! Denise is a true gift to your organization! There is no doubt I will recommend Fortune Academy to my friends.

Sincerely,

Roxanne Westdyk

Hi Denise,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you, for all of your help in training the last couple of weeks.  While they had very different teaching styles, both instructors did a great job in presenting the material while handling a group of people with varying degrees skills, abilities and expertise in the field of real estate.  I did not mention it to anyone, but I am a former adjunct Professor of Accounting from the College of Charleston and know that it takes a certain skills to be able to handle the range of educational backgrounds that our class had.

Once I pass the state test, then I would like to take the 30 hours of follow-up CE credits, but I would like to do it on weekends after I finish vacations with the kids this summer.  I can only take off so much time from my regular job!


PS: You are more than welcome to post my comments to your web site.  You and your wife have done a great job is setting up a school that gets the students motivated in order to pass the state exam.
Thanks again.

Dear Fortune

just a note of appreciation for the great job if teaching us broker A and B.  You made, what could have been a very miserable 4 weekends, interesting, entertaining and informative.  Your knowledge and passion for our industry was just the ticket to keep our attention on point as it was very evident that you knew your stuff and that we indeed could learn from you.  Your teaching technique allowed you to work with us professionals and not preach or talk down to us.  You gave us all the opportunity to explore subject matter in real life situations rather than make believe nonsense. You can and should be proud of the job you do.

Thanks again for all your help and direction.  Have a good week and keep up the good work.  Please stop by the office and say Hi when you are in Johns Island.

Fortune Academy Management:

I am writing this to commend you and your staff at FORTUNE ACADEMY.  I took the Home Inspection course a few weeks back and passed the exam for my license the first time I went to take the test. I want to thank John Tullous and Larry Poole for conveying the tremendous amount of information needed in a professional and interesting way. 

I also want to thank Paul for his encouragement and the interest that he took in the students.  Both John and Larry were thoroughly knowledgeable in the subjects and answered any questions presented. 

Having recently relocated to South Carolina from New York, where I owned and ran an electrical contracting company, I am familiar with construction and building practices.  I did learn a lot from your instructors regarding these practices in South Carolina.   I have and will continue to recommend your academy to others.

 

Thank You;
