Professional Development
I have aspired to teach since early adulthood, and my professional experience in real estate investments and valuation has enabled me to fulfill that ambition. My teaching background includes serving as a Junior Instructor for the CCIM Institute, where I taught its CI 101 course, and as a Junior Instructor for IAAO, where I currently offer a range of courses including:
In addition, I provide one-on-one training in financial and data analysis using Microsoft Excel.
If you represent a county assessor’s office or local jurisdiction seeking to expand your staff’s knowledge of mass appraisal and assessment administration, I can assist by offering the aforementioned IAAO courses.
If you are a leader of a real estate trade association or company interested in organizing a course to further educate your members or employees on real estate concepts, financial analysis, or Excel applications for real estate, I would be glad to discuss potential training opportunities.
If you are a business leader and want to enhance your team’s understanding of financial or data analysis, valuation principles, and applied software, I also offer customized one-on-one training sessions.
And if you simply wish to connect, I welcome the opportunity for conversation and am open to mentoring.
Testimonials
I took my first CCIM course, CI-101, with Mr. Ferstl. He was the most comprehensive and focused instructor I have had. He made time for fun and allowed us to communicate, while still keeping the course on track. Getting to take the first CCIM course in his class was extremely motivating and made me want to keep pursuing the designation. I wish he could have taught all of my remaining courses!
