AREN Testimonials
See what real estate agents across Canada have to say about the Negotiation Foundations in Real Estate (PREN) Certification Course.
The AREN has a lot of great communication tools and has given me confidence. The role playing is highly recommended, I was always intimidated by role playing and had a negative perspective but after this course, I realized the importance and is now a passion – it’s fun and prepares me for all unique situations that we encounter on a daily basis.
