Your friends at American Commodity offer much more than just real estate services. Of course, their expertise and passion lie in connecting their clients with the perfect real estate or investment match, but as featured in previous posts the team is committed to community service. That commitment also includes real estate and wealth building workshops.
They have conducted various real estate and financial literacy workshops in the community since 2017, including a six part educational series titled “The Power of Real Estate”. The educational series consists of six classes, each with a different area of focus. Participants leave with not only a new knowledge of the topic and an American Commodity team member knowing them by name, but also some materials and books to aid in their continuing education.
Below is a list of the classes within the course.
Steps to Buying Your Home

The American Commodity team is committed to helping their community, the place where they live, raise their families, shop, dine and celebrate. The understanding is that a better educated community will create more opportunity and empower individuals to pursue/fulfill their real estate dreams.. While Covid kept them from offering the course in 2020 and 2021, the future is bright and clear for classes to resume in the near future. Afterall, the housing market is hot, the buyers and sellers are ready to wheel and deal and Central Florida has never been more appealing to the rest of the country.
