Become a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE)

Negotiation training is one of the most important focus areas for every successful business. 

Clients hire real estate agents to help achieve the best results possible in the sale or purchase of property. While no agent can guarantee specific results for a buyer or seller, MCNE® agents can prove they are the best trained real estate professionals in the one skill that influences the final outcome the most – negotiation.  “Negotiation skills are fundamental to success in real estate and the MCNE® designation shows clients that you have invested significant time and effort to acquire higher level skills for their benefit,” says Tom Hayman, CEO, and co-founder (along with John Wenner) of the Real Estate Negotiation Institute.

The MCNE® training program is unlike any other in the real estate industry.  The six classes (over six total days scheduled in two-day segments) train real estate professionals in negotiation skills similar to those used in corporate America and taught at the finest schools in the country.  Importantly, the training includes the application of proven negotiation techniques in real estate negotiation situations that help improve client results.  “Our goal is to raise the bar in professional representation of buyers and sellers in the real estate industry,” says Hayman.

The six courses required for the MCNE® designation are:

  • Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®) designation course (2 days)
  • Advanced Negotiation Techniques for Listing Agents (1 day)
  • Advanced Negotiation Techniques for Buyer’s Agents (1 day)
  • Mastering Email Negotiations in Real Estate (1 day)
  • Cultural Factors in Real Estate Negotiations (3 hours)
  • Negotiating Across Generations in Real Estate (3 hours)
