Thanks to Sam Chapman, I was introduced to a website that offers free training videos for real estate professionals.

You’ll find the site at www.CKGTV.com.  It was started by a firm called CKG International out of Ontario, Canada.  I’ve not heard of that company before, but I think they’ve done a good job of pulling together some helpful resources you can take advantage of at your leisure.  At least you could if you had any leisure time!

Address a Variety of Issues with Top Professionals and Consultants

The site has several “channels”:

• Coach’s Corner
• Special Feature
• Skills
• Inside a Mastermind
• Luxury
• Brokers
• Teams
• Foreclosure & Short Sales
• H.R.
• Technology
• Marketing

Each Channel is populated by videos on the specific topic.  So, it’s a great way to learn something if you’re a visual person.  You can see the person doing the talking and get a good feel for the subject.  That is especially helpful since several of the topics have to do with communication skills, so you can see role-playing sessions face-to-video.

The Coaches Corner is hosted by Ken Goodfellow who is the CEO of CKG International, and a professional real estate coach.  There are other videos about how to manage short sales, scripts for FSBOs and Expireds and interviews with top luxury agents.

You’ll also find videos from Michael Russer on Internet Marketing and Brad Carroll talking about technology issues.

I sampled a few of the videos and found most of them interesting and informative.  There was only one series that seemed to be more sales pitch than anything else.  Not to mention any names, but it was from a principal from TheShortSalesCompany.com.  Guess it would be useful if you were looking for a firm to handle your short sales.

Check it out.  Feedback would be appreciated.
