Brad, I am loving ARU, this was such an awesome idea, and to think you are giving it to us. I am on my way to register. Question though, I am concerned that I will miss tomorrow, will you be making it available to us if we missed it?
Hi Andrea - we are trying to record each of these classes but have not created an archive library just yet.
Most of my time and efforts right now are being spent getting these classes scheduled with great speakers and presenters who bring awesome content to the members and industry. Setting them up, getting the word out, and then doing them is consuming most of my time these days. If and when we do create an archive library, you can bet I'll be doing a post and letting everyone know.
The other option is to repeat some of the classes that are getting heavily requested which we have already done in the past, and will continue to do going forward. :-)
Very cool Brad. Let me know if you need anyone else to talk about short sales or pretty much anything else related to real estate. I'm cheap!!
I've seen a few videos from Kevin and Fred at Group 46:10. The Short Sale Power Hour series is sure to be lively and entertaining, as well as very informative.
Thanks Broker B, you know I will most likely take you up on your offer here in the very near future.
I'd love to have you come share and possibly even demonstrate how you and TLW deal with specific transaction details, say for example... the counter offer?? That was one of the "cheapest" ways I've ever witnessed in my entire 25 year career. Loved it!! :-O
Howdy and evening to ya Brad
Theres a couple of them that I'll be signing up for. Like the How To Brand Yourself and Managing Your Business Virtuallt. Thank you mighty kindly!!!
Have a good one
Dale
Hey John - each of these special guests (Top Guns) brings something unique and very valuable to the classroom, I hope you'll join us, and even more importantly, help us get the word out. The 'value proposition' of these speakers and classes are truly priceless.
These folks get paid very well for what they do, yet they offer their time, expertise, and knowldge as a gift to the Industry! You won't find love like that anywhere else but here my friend!! :-)
I wish I didn't have to work and could just sit and listen to Active Rain University all day. Those sessions sound awesome!
The classes all look good and the blog comments support this. I will attend some classes starting in a few months. I would like some on SEO.
OK Brad, I registered for the first 2 for now. I hope to be able to juggle my schedule for tomorrow! I appreciate the work you have put into these, believe me. Asking about the archive library was pretty selfish, lol, not thinking about the fact that you are already doing so much to get these up and running for us, then offering them for free. You guys are awesome, really.
Thanks, Brad! I signed up for three of the classes. Arranging to have one hour out of a day for a good FREE webinar is not that difficult. Thank you for all that you do.
Hope to have some time to take several of these. Time is mighty slim on availability these days. But it IS a priority. Looks like a great selectiuon and terrific set of speakers.

Hi Brad: Very much looking forward to the Stefan Swanepoel webinar. Thanks so much for arranging that one. Hope all is well with you.
Looks like a great line up -- I'm registered! Looking forward to reviewing the archived classes when that project is completed.
What a great group of speakers... I am giong to see what I can fit into my schedule. This is awesome. Nice job!
Hi Brad -- This is a pretty impressive lineup. Why can't AR record the webinars for anytime/anywhere playback?
I'm signed up for three of the classes. Now I will have to tie a string arond my finger too.
Hello:
Sounds like this ActiveRain University thing is really catching on. I know I've learned a lot from the classes.
Brad, I just wish I could go to Active Rain University full time like when I was in college :) I should be able to make at least one.
Thanks Brad. I'm on my way to sign up for Katrina Benton's class. I'm going to try to make it to Stefen Swanepoel class too.
Brad,
That's really cool. I have been wondering when you guys would roll in some celeb type names. Congratulations. I know you guys really work hard at this thing!
Well I've signed up. Now all I have to do is find extra hours in my week to do all the things I'm committed to doing. :) Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for bringing such a great group of experts online to help us improve our business and service.
Thanks for the post Brad. I am signing up right now!
Thank you for spearheading this initiative. I have really enjoyed the classes I have taken.
Hi Brad,
WOW !!!!! What a great line up of classes !!!!!!!
Thank You,
Brad, this looks lie an incredible line up and with your excellent webinar platform should be very informative. I plan to sign up as time allows. Thanks!
Brad,
I love ARU classes and just enrolled for June 3 - although I knew nothing about our teacher or the Apprentice.
Any way to add a "remember me" to the registration form for us repeat students?
I will do my best to attend...
Thank you!
Brad- Great line up and I sure hope I can arrange my schedule to be included. Excellent and timely topics. Thanks
I've been attending lots of webinars but the AR University ones really try to teach you something. Lots of hype out there. It's good to know that we are getting the real deal. I've signed up for 2. Thanks Brad!
Thanks for the reminder Brad, I need to get back into the routine. Looking forward to raincamp DC...
Great line up Brad ~ sure hope I'll get a chance to sit in on a couple. You've done a great job in this ARU. Kerrie too!
Hey Brad - Great Lineup, I attended a recent webinar and really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work!
Always weant to hear what Stefan has to say.
Great stuff! It's amazing what Active Rain has done for me and my careet. Multiply that by about 180,000 members and it's simply mind-blowing!
Hey Brad~ Hey that's me up there;) Very much looking forward to my presentation for AR University, AR just rocks, and so do you!
What an exciting lineup of speakers. Great job on the University!
Thanks everyone, making these happen takes a ton of effort, but it's totally worth it if you're all getting benefits and value.
Fred and Kevin did an awesome "short sale series" class today and I'm really looking forward to having them back for "session 2"
Your comments and support are sooooo appreciated, you really do make it worth all the effort. Thank you. :-)
Brad,
That's a strong lineup you put together. Katrina and Stefan sure could give me some pointers in their class I suspect.
Enjoyed the "short sale" class today and many of the other ones that I have attended recently. Can't wait to participate in the next line-up of ARU classes. Looks like there is going to be some GREAT ones!!
What are the best SEO classes to take on AR University. This interests me a lot.
These are very good classes Brad... I have really enjoyed the ones I have been able to attend.
Active Rain University is SO essential...thank you to all involved!
Brad......most excellent job and efforts. You are reaching and teaching many.....as well as helping to raise the bar in the industry. Thank you and hope to join a "camp" sometime soon........ A.R.R.F. Active Rain Rules Forever.
Thanks for all the great training I am looking forward to the classes and what is coming next.
Brad, I need to figure out how to start making these classes. I would love to get my business to a point where I am the rainmaker again like I did 3 years ago.....with a team of buyers agents.
Brad,
Thanks for the heads up. I just signed up for 2 of them, even though I would like to attend all of them, there is too much to do, and I gotta make some money and see my family sometime. This education is the best.
I missed a few classes, look forward to catching them next time around. Great information. Thank You!
Brad ~ I attended the May 13th class you all had and it was very informitive and timely for me. I used some of the tips the very next day. Thanks for holding these classes for free!
Hi June - that is so awesome, not much makes me happier than to hear that!! :-)
Thank you for setting up what are potentially some great classes Brad.
Adam - potentially?? :-) How about Guaranteed!!
Hi Brad - We are new to the AR community. We would love to attend ALL of these webinars but have a few schedulling conflicts. Any chance these are or will be available to watch after the fact...in an "on demand" format?
Hi Lexi and Jordan - right now the classes are only available by attending them at the times they're available. We are working on having an archive library in the future, but no eta as to when that will be setup and running. Looking forward to seeing you at the ones you can make.
Brad
Is Kendra really going to be there or is it one of her fill ins. Every event I have been to or been on line on, claims that Kendra is going to be speaking but it is never her. It is a admin that just reads off from Kendra's script. Very disappointing performance. Hope you get the real deal here to AR.
Katerina - have you ever known me to not deliver the "Real Deal?"
I have personally spoken and confirmed with Kendra. I will be at ARU "LIVE" with her as my guest, and you don't want to miss this presentation and class. Don't hesitate or have any doubts, register now because this one will be SOLD OUT! :-)
