Information for Educators:

Are you interested in teaching a course at IVAR? We're always looking for quality instructors who want to bring their presentations to IVAR facilities for our members. 

Contact Jean Wiltz at jeanw@ivaor.com or by phone at 951-684-1221 for more information. 

It's no secret that the strongest and most successful agents are also the best informed. New techniques, new laws, new procedures, new tools and technology create opportunities and often require agents to adjust.

IVAR is focused on bringing education to REALTOR® members at low or no cost when possible.

Would you like to share your thoughts on courses that you have attended? We welcome your ideas and opinions. Please email Jean Wiltz, education coordinator, at JeanW@ivaor.com.
