Our Classes

Founder Jim Stacey has been teaching real estate courses at the University of Washington’s Experimental College since the 1980’s. Brett Clifton began teaching alongside Jim in 2005 and now teaches the entire curriculum on a quarterly basis on the UW campus. We may teach at other venues in the future but our courses will likely be similar to the below courses taught through the Experimental College.
