Providence Golf Club for the 52nd time in a little over five years is sponsoring a 3-hour new homes seminar for area real estate agents, according to Vice President of Sales and Marketing Matt Brown, 

"Co-broker sales increased from 20% to 80% over this time as more than 2,000 area central Florida Realtors completed the course, most of whom also qualified for their New Home Co-Broker designation.

"We decided to use this seminar to establish what we consider to be the education baseline to our co-broker marketing programs. The seminar is not so much about the builder or the builder's homes. It is about helping the agents succeed in their resale business by adding new homes to their inventory showings.

"Onsite agents throughout central Florida know that when they meet our  seminar graduates they are dealing with general agents  who know how to work with them. By helping these agents become proficient in finding new home shoppers and working with builders, they can sell a new home anywhere. We leave selling the homes up to the onsite staffs, Brown said.
