Vested Certified — the training real estate school never gave you.
Your licensing course taught you license law. It didn't teach you how to run a buyer consultation, price a listing, negotiate an inspection response, or close a new-construction deal.
Vested Certified is a practical certification program for real estate professionals, built by Matt Cochrell — an Ohio broker since 2004 who has managed 1,000+ properties — to close the gap between licensed and successful. Currently in development.
Planned curriculum
- Buyer consultationsTurn a first meeting into a signed representation agreement.
- Pricing & CMAsBuild a defensible price from comparable sales, not gut feel.
- NegotiationOffers, counters, inspection responses — how to protect your client without blowing up the deal.
- New-construction dealsThe paperwork, pitfalls, and builder-rep dynamics nobody teaches.
- Building a repeatable pipelineHow past clients, sphere, and referral partners become predictable business — instead of hoping Zillow leads convert.
