The new professional development platform combines live coaching, practical training and bite-sized learning to help real estate agents build more successful businesses.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Greater Rochester Association of REALTORS® (GRAR) and Hiveologie have co-developed and launched Career Excellence School, a professional development platform that combines live coaching, practical lead-generation training and bite-sized learning to help real estate professionals turn education into measurable business action.
The launch coincides with NAR NXT 2026, as real estate professionals from across the country gather in New Orleans to explore new approaches to business growth, technology and professional development.
Powered by Hiveologie—which was named Best Real Estate Training Platform 2026 – North America in BUILD Magazine's Real Estate & Property Awards—Career Excellence School combines curated learning, practical implementation, coaching, accountability, AI and technology to help agents move from knowing to doing to revenue.
"When we started helping shape Career Excellence School, the goal was pretty simple: give our member agents—and agents around the country—training they can actually use to build their businesses," said James Yockel, CEO of GRAR. "We wanted more than another library of classes. We wanted great education delivered in a way that fits how agents work and live."
Real estate agents can access specialized 90-day programs that combine practical, actionable training, proven lead-generation strategies, and weekly live coaching to answer questions and provide expert guidance. CES programs deliver bite-sized learning modules over time, allowing agents to build skills at a manageable pace while putting what they learn into practice.
The Hiveologie team brings more than 25 years of real estate education experience and has delivered more than 1 million courses to hundreds of thousands of professionals across the industry.
"The GRAR team has been an important voice in shaping Career Excellence School around the real-world needs of agents," said Sabine Steinbrecher, founder and CEO of Hiveologie. "Together, we're creating a learning experience that combines practical education, coaching and technology to help professionals build stronger, more consistent businesses."
For a limited time, CES is offering 50 free leads with the purchase of any eligible program. To sign-up for one of dozens of professional development programs, or to learn more about Career Excellence School, visit www.ceshive.com.
