Colorado MRE courses online: Affordable Master of Real Estate classes

Important Colorado MRE Update

The MRE program in Colorado is undergoing changes in 2012. The Colorado Association of REALTORS has discontinuing its sponsorship of the MRE designation, however, any student already in progress may complete the program and will be issued a CMRE (Colorado Master of Real Estate) designation by CAR. For questions concerning the CMRE program please contact Erica Saufley at CAR education services directly.

VanEd will continue the MRE program independent of CAR under a new designation to be launched in early 2012. This new designation will target the same high-achieving REALTORS as the MRE, and help to advance your competitive edge with clients. MRE/CMRE coursework taken now will count towards this new designation.
