Regulators and others can be assured that a real estate educator who has earned a REEA Diamond Distinguished Real Estate Instructor (DREI) designation will exhibit a mastery of subject matter, proven presentation ability, relevant experience, and superior teaching skills.
The REEA Diamond DREI program is administered by the REEA Diamond DREI Leadership Council which is elected by the REEA Diamond DREI membership. The REEA Diamond DREI designation is a classroom teaching designation that adheres to the Generally Accepted Principles of Education (GAPE) adopted by REEA.

REEA changed the game for me! I have had opportunities arise from being a being a member and the comraderie that I have found in REEA is unparalleled! The support from the organization and members has been invaluable and changed my career. The GSI designation and REEA have given me opportunities to learn and grow as an educator and as a sales agent.
