Miami Realtors and Gold Coast Schools Announce Partnership

Miami Realtors and RWorld partnered with Gold Coast Schools in Florida to expand member access to real estate licensing, continuing education, and professional development courses, officials said.

The partnership gives Miami Realtors and RWorld's 94,000 members discounted rates on Gold Coast Schools' Florida pre-licensing course and other programs. Teresa King Kinney, co-CEO of Miami Realtors and RWorld, said the partnership significantly strengthens the group's already robust Realtor education.

Kinney also noted that the organization's 94,000 members now have access to discounted rates on one of Florida's most popular real estate education programs, she said.

Through the partnership, members can now access all of Gold Coast Schools' Florida course catalog through a dedicated online referral portal. The available courses include various pre-licensing, post-licensing, continuing education, broker education, and professional development offerings for real estate agents in Florida.

Gold Coast Schools offers all these classes in person, by livestream, and online, providing convenient and flexible options for working real estate professionals and active students.

Partnership Designed for Entire Professional Journey

Tina Lapp, head of industry relations and career excellence at Gold Coast Schools, said the partnership is designed around a member's entire professional journey, not a single course.

She added that Gold Coast Schools has spent 55 years teaching this market in Florida and shaping real estate education. The partnership now gives both organizations a standing way to shape what gets taught around what the members really need.

Founded in 1970, Gold Coast Schools provides education in fields including real estate, appraisal, mortgage, insurance, community association management, and construction. The school has built a strong reputation for providing comprehensive training across various key real estate-related professional fields and industries.

The first member-focused educational initiatives are scheduled to launch this fall, with leaders planning to collaborate on ongoing programs and promotions, working with practitioners to identify education needs.

The partnership aims to support all real estate members throughout their entire careers by offering accessible, relevant, high-quality, and affordable educational opportunities in Florida and beyond.

Members Gain Access to Discounted Courses and Portal

Kinney said the partnership makes the organization's already robust Realtor education significantly stronger and more accessible for its 94,000 members. She noted that members now have access to discounted rates on one of Florida's most popular real estate education programs.

Tina Lapp said the partnership is also designed around a member's entire professional journey, not a single course, and it will directly shape what gets taught.

Members can now access all of Gold Coast Schools' Florida course catalog directly through a dedicated online referral portal that simplifies their enrollment easily and quickly.

The leaders from both organizations plan to actively collaborate on ongoing educational programs and promotions to address future emerging needs. They will work with practitioners to identify what education is needed and how best to deliver it directly to members.

The partnership aims to provide a truly comprehensive, valuable, high-quality, diverse, and accessible educational pathway for all real estate professionals throughout their entire careers in Florida.
