Brokerage honored by Training magazine for second consecutive year

Training magazine, the leading publication for learning and development professionals, has named Long & Foster Real Estate to its prestigious list of the world’s top training companies for 2024—the Training APEX Awards. Long & Foster not only ranked among some of the business world’s top companies but also is the only residential real estate brokerage honored for the second consecutive year.

“Long & Foster is known as the brokerage that teaches new sales associates how to succeed and provides the insights and education for well-established agents and teams to build and grow their careers,” said Patrick Bain, CEO of The Long & Foster Companies, parent company of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our training programs have always received top ratings from participants, and I’m so proud that we earned this tremendous honor again.”

Long & Foster has long focused on having the best trained and best equipped real estate agents in the business. The company provides sales associates with a wealth of marketing and technology tools, as well as a variety of business development, continuing education and other learning opportunities—many of which are offered to its agents for no cost.

“This award is a testament to the hard work our training and professional development professionals have done to create such incredible learning programs for Long & Foster and our sales associates,” said Jackie Thiel, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “I give my deepest congratulations and thanks to our many talented team members for being honored once again.”

Lee McGinnis, senior vice president of Long & Foster’s General Brokerage Operations, added, “It’s an honor that Long & Foster has again received this recognition. We look forward to continuously developing our team of professional agents by building new and innovative training content and platforms to add value to our agents and their clients across the East Coast.”  

Training magazine will recognize all the honorees of its Training APEX Awards at a ceremony in February 2024, at which point the publication will announce the final rankings. You can read more about the awards here.
