Gold Coast Schools and Echovate Team Up to Help Students in Real Estate Successfully Prepare for the Hiring Process

TAMARAC, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gold Coast Schools, a leading Florida-based provider of traditional classroom and distance learning in the fields of real estate, appraisal, mortgage, insurance and construction education, today announced an exclusive education partnership with Echovate to uncover real estate students’ personality insights with actionable items that will help propel their real estate career forward.

“We are excited to offer Echovate assessments to all of our Gold Coast students as part of their learning experience,” said Jennifer Dixson Hoff, General Manager of Professional Portfolio and Partnerships at Colibri Real Estate, the parent company of Gold Coast Schools. “With these assessments, our students will be equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to enter the real estate sector and become successful agents.”

The Echovate personality assessment is a simple process that includes a brief survey sent to students. When finished, students obtain real-time results in a report that shares their strengths and how they are leveraged in a work environment.

“Our vision of driving successful outcomes through science and data are perfectly aligned with Gold Coast Schools and will change the landscape of real estate,” said Matt Gough, CEO of Echovate. “We are excited about the amazing impact this will have on students and their real estate careers as well as brokers and teams to help recruit, retain and grow their next top performers.”

Already, real estate brokers in Florida are leveraging Echovate assessments to elevate the recruiting and retention process for agents.

“With Echovate, we have been able to understand what makes a top-performing agent in our company – giving us the insights we need to reduce turnover and increase retention,” said Wendi Iglesias, Chief Information Officer at The Keyes Company. “In addition, the tool helps us identify existing agents from within our company to promote and ultimately build their career in real estate.”

Gold Coast Schools will offer Echovate assessments to all real estate students beginning today.

“As part of the experience at Gold Coast, we initiate career fairs between brokers and students,” Hoff continued. “This tool is meant to bolster those conversations and to help both parties find the right fit. In our pilot program, many students found the assessment and results helpful in preparing them to secure their first role.”
