Why REsides University Should Be Your First Stop, Every Time

If you’re a REsides subscriber, you already have access to one of the most powerful training hubs in the industry—you just might not be using it yet.
REsides University is your digital campus: MLS training, tool tutorials, CE options, AI guidance, and business strategy—all in one place. It’s designed so you can stop guessing, stop Googling, and start using everything you’re already paying for.
Why REsides University Exists
We built REsides University with one goal in mind: Help every subscriber move from “I think I know” to “I’ve absolutely got this.”
Instead of scattered links, random videos, and outdated PDFs, you get:
One hub for Matrix and MLS tools
On-demand, self-paced training
Practical, agent-first resources on marketing, negotiation, and business growth
It’s not just “how to use the system.” It’s how to run a better business with the system.
Matrix & More
Matrix can be your unfair advantage—if you know how to drive it.
In Training → Matrix & More, you’ll find:
Short, focused video tutorials (dashboard, Market Watch, contacts, saved searches, auto emails, map search)
“Getting Started” tracks for new or returning users
Matrix 360 training so you can combine listing and tax data, print better reports, and farm smarter
Downloadable guides and checklists you can save, share, and reuse
Give it 10 minutes and you’ll save yourself hours later.
All Your Tools, One Training Menu
REsides University also centralizes training for the tools you hear about but might not be fully leveraging yet, including:
Marketing & lead gen: EDGE by SaleCORE, Cloud CMA, ListTrac, Roomvo, RE Technology
Mobile & client tools: MLS-Touch, OneHome, Neighborhood Intel
Transaction & productivity: TransactionDesk, Offer Manager, RentSpree, ShowingTime/Master Lock, Realist, Earnnest, Inspectify
There are also role-based tracks for working with buyers, sellers, brokers/office admins, and appraisers—so you can jump straight to what fits your business.
If you’ve ever said, “I know we have something for that…” this is where you go to learn it, use it, and make it pay off.
CE That Fits Your Life
Through our partnership with Colibri Real Estate, REsides subscribers get:
50% off online CE courses and packages (SC and GA)
Flexible, on-your-schedule completion
Courses that cover everything you need, including NAR’s Code of Ethics
No last-minute panic, no mystery. In a few clicks, you can have your CE plan handled—and in many cases, at a discount or even free. Contact your REsides account manager to learn more.
Agent Resources, AI, and Real-World Support
Under Agent Resources, you’ll find:
AI guidance to help with listing descriptions, social captions, emails, and more
A Broker Commission Planning Workshop to navigate today’s compensation conversations
Consumer guides, market activity tools, and down payment assistance resources you can use directly with buyers and sellers
Compliance and policy info to help protect your license and reputation
Add in the REsides University Blog, and you’ve got a steady stream of quick-hit content on:
Negotiation
Lead generation
Professionalism and client experience
Social media strategies
Market shifts and industry change
Perfect for a 5–10 minute “sharpen your skills” break.
Security Matters, Too
Cybercrime is a real threat in real estate. REsides University also highlights security best practices so you can safeguard your systems, your data, and your clients. One small training habit can prevent one very big problem.
How to Start Using REsides University This Week
You don’t need a full overhaul—just a simple routine:
New or returning?
Start with Training → Matrix & More → Getting Started and watch one short video a day.
Want more production?
Pick one under-used tool (Cloud CMA, EDGE, MLS-Touch, RentSpree, etc.), go to its training page, and implement one new workflow.
Broker or office leader?
Use the broker resources and Request Office Training link to align your team and make REsides University part of your onboarding and ongoing training.
Your Next Move
You already have the access.
You already have the tools.
REsides University is how you unlock all of it.
Today, do three quick things:
Go to REsides University (Find the REsides University icon on your REsides dashboard)
Click Training and choose one topic to watch this week.
Visit the Blog or Real Estate CE page and pick one thing that moves your business—or your license—forward.
Training isn’t extra work. It’s leverage.
And REsides University was built so you can turn that leverage into listings, clients, and closings.
