Hudson Gateway School to offer Spanish CE course

White Plains, NY The Hudson Gateway School of Real Estate, owned and operated by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR) is one of the first real estate schools to offer a Spanish language Continuing Education (CE) course approved by the New York Department of State.

The course, “A-Z: Conceptos Immobiliaros Clave para Clientes de Habla Hispana” deals with common real estate terminology that is often lost in translation. Emi Cacace, broker/owner of Portico Realty Group will teach the weekly course beginning on May 15 and ending May 29 at HGAR’s headquarters in White Plains.

Cacace has been working in real estate since 2007. Since then, she has earned multiple local and international accreditations.  Prior to moving to the US in 2000 from her native Argentina, she was a successful business consultant, university professor and managed her family’s real estate portfolio.  She is fluent in both Spanish and English.

“We’re very excited about this new course because it’s ideal for many of our bi-lingual agents who are dealing with home buyers and sellers for which English is a second language,” explained Eileen Taus, HGAR’s Director of Education.  “There are often a lot of real estate terms that get lost or confused in translation, and this course is designed to deal with those specific issues to provide support to our agents and their clients.”

The HGAR School of Real Estate is one of the largest, most successful real estate schools in New York.   Licensing and Continuing Education classes are offered at HGAR’s three office locations in White Plains, West Nyack and Goshen.  For more information about classes, please visit www.HGAR.com.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
