 Ken
Jones began his
real estate career as a licensed real estate salesman in
New Jersey in July 1971. And, after several years of achieving
an unusually high level of success as an award-winning agent,
he opened his own real estate agency in 1978. With his self-developed,
aggressive marketing programs and techniques, Kens
company quickly became a dominant force in its market. So
impressive was his advertising that the New Jersey Press
Association awarded Ken first place honors for "Best
Classified Advertising in the State of New Jersey"
for an unprecedented 3 consecutive years. Ken developed
his own sales training program. This very successful program
has evolved into his "Ultimate Basic Training"
course, a 40-hour total immersion program for newly licensed
agents. Ken expanded into quality real estate appraisal
and investment analytical services in the mid 1980s. By
the late 1980s, Ken was recognized as an expert in the very
demanding area of litigation, valuation and expert testimony.
He later developed a series of pre-licensing courses, in
addition to several continuing education seminars, and has
traveled the United States as a professional educator. In
addition to providing courses and seminars, Ken is also
available for speaking engagements on a wide variety of
real estate related topics. For more information, either
