We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new elective course at Providence Real Estate Education — Understanding Residential Appraisals, taught by Colin Nieburh, Certified Residential Appraiser and owner of Crimson Appraisals.

If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head after receiving an appraisal report or wondering what truly drives valuation adjustments, this class is for you. Colin brings years of hands-on experience in the North Carolina appraisal world, offering an insider’s perspective that every broker can benefit from.

Continuing education (CE) isn’t just a requirement for keeping your North Carolina real estate license active—it’s also a valuable opportunity to grow your business, stay sharp, and better serve your clients. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right CE course?

Learning Looks Different for Adults

Let’s be real: adults don’t learn the same way kids or college students do.

We bring life experience, established habits, and busy schedules into every learning environment. That’s why adult education has to be more than lectures and PowerPoints. It has to be relevant, practical, and engaging.

Every year, thousands of North Carolina real estate brokers scramble to meet the June 10 continuing education deadline. At Providence Real Estate Education, we see the same pattern year after year: packed classes in May and early June, limited availability, and unnecessary stress.
