Our instructors gathered around the table for a strategy workshop, and the energy in that room was something special.

We spent the time talking through how we teach, what makes a lesson stick, and how we can best support every student who walks through our doors. Good teaching starts with listening, so now we want to hear from you.

What are you looking for in real estate education? Whether you’re just starting to think about a license, aiming for your next step, or need to stay current, tell us below. Comment A, B, C, or D from the graphic, or share what you’d love to see from us. Every answer helps shape what we build next.

Meet Darren Bagley-Heath!

Darren is a Georgia real estate salesperson and approved instructor, and he just closed the sale of the historic 1886 Savannah Cotton Exchange. That is the kind of real-world experience he brings into the classroom.

Before real estate, Darren owned an award-winning restaurant on Cape Cod and worked as a social worker. Born in the United Kingdom and rooted in Savannah since 2011, he has served as Chair of the Savannah Historic Preservation Commission and on the Savannah Multi List Corporation board.

We're so glad to have him on the UTX team, serving the Low Country. Our in-person pre-licensing course is enrolling now. Walk in curious. Walk out better.

Tell us in the comments, or send us a message if you’d rather keep it between us. Either way, we’re happy to help you figure it out.

"He didn’t just give the answer he made sure to explain the "why" behind it, which really helped everything click."

That is what a previous student said about Paul Jackson, and it is exactly what his background would lead you to expect.

Paul was born and raised on Tybee Island, where his great-grandfather served as the last lighthouse keeper of the historic Tybee Island Lighthouse. That deep connection to the Low Country shapes how he shows up for every student.

He built and ran several restaurants, led a high school as principal for nearly a decade, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master of Arts in Education. Today he is a Georgia and South Carolina Associate Broker and an approved Georgia Pre-License Instructor, with over seven years of real estate teaching experience, a Masters in Commercial Property designation from the Lipsey School of Real Estate and a Georgia Instructor Training certificate from the GREEA Instructor Academy.

Leadership, education and real world experience, all in one classroom. Paul will be kicking off our in-person pre-licensing class in January, and we could not be prouder to have him lead it.

Walk in curious. Walk out better.

Four things we brought home from D.C.

Brokerage leaders spent a lot of time talking about AI, a shifting market, and the future of the industry. Four ideas stood out to us as a school serving the Low Country.

One, technology is a tool and not a replacement. AI can make agents faster, but it cannot replace local knowledge and the trust that is built face to face.

Two, go back to the basics. When the market gets noisy, strong agents return to relationships and the people they already know.

Three, quality over quantity. Many of the leaders we heard from are thinking about how to bring the next generation of agents into the business, and how to make sure they are well trained.

Four, know your value. Agents need to be able to clearly explain everything they do for a client, from the first showing to closing day.

That is why our pre-licensing course is taught in person. The fundamentals are best learned alongside real instructors and classmates. We also will be offering continuing education for licensed agents (in-person or computer-based).

Thinking about a career in real estate? We would love to talk with you.

Leaders from regional and national real estate organizations were asked how they are finishing the year in a slower market, and their answers kept coming back to the same thing. Fundamentals. Many agents built their business on speed and never learned how to price, prepare, and position a property. The leaders in that room said the answer is to get back to the basics, keep learning, and invest in people.

That is exactly why we do what we do. Great agents are built on strong foundations, and those foundations start in the classroom. Our pre-licensing course is taught in person, so future agents learn the fundamentals alongside real instructors and classmates. For agents who are already licensed, we will be offering continuing education (in-person or computer-based).

Last week we traveled to Washington, D.C. for the RISMedia CEO & Leadership Exchange.

Surrounded by leaders from real estate organizations across the country, we listened, learned, and made some great new connections. We are bringing a few ideas home to the Low Country, and we will be sharing the ones that stuck with us over the next few days.

Stay tuned. We think future agents and licensed agents alike will want to hear them.

Urban Tide Xchange offers in-person pre-licensing and continuing education for licensed agents.
