Jim,
Thank you for all of your guidance thru the years...
Jim Watson was by far the most informative and influential teachers I took classes with at NYREI. I would schedule my time around when he was teaching because the knowledge I walked away with from him is priceless. Even until date, after finishing my classes, I am very much still in touch with Jim and ask and respect his advice. More than a teacher at NYREI, he is a friend. Thanks Jim!
The Equation is simple. Knowledgeable and full of Real World Experiences makes for one of NYREI most impactful and Insightful Instructors. Thank you Jim Watson.
Professor Watson captivates you with his knowledge and experience. Its truly a pleasure to sit in his class!!!
I looked forward to attending Jim's classes. He always held my attention. He moves quickly through the material and is just conversational enough to keep me caring. Thorough, interesting, and fast-paced - he creates an ideal learning environment. You won't be disappointed.
As a past student of Mr. Jim Watson’s classes at NYREI, I have to say he was one a select group of instructor’s whose classes I attended. Jim taught I believe 8 of my 20 classes I took at NYREI and he was an all around amazing instructor. His attention to detail, his knowledge of this vast business and his willingness to assist students throughout the entire process was unparallel and very professional. I highly advise if you decide to pursue a career in this very challenging yet rewarding career, you take some classes and or a review class from Mr. Watson! He is a great guy! Thanks again Jim!
Jim Watson is such a breath of fresh air enlivening class with his experiences and knowledge showing us how to bring the dream of working in real estate into reality. His stories are so interesting that you are entirely engaged and don't want to miss a word. Feel Jim teaches much more than the foundation of real estate in that he has been in business for a long time with a variety of experiences and success. It is so fascinating to hear the story of his life and what happened when because he is teaching us so many values that he has inculcated into his life and find it so heartening to hear his stories not only about his business but about his wife and how they began. Feel Jim is sharing something so valuable with us and feel so lucky to be able to meet him, learn from him and drink in his incredible life of hard work, success and devotion to others. Throughout jim's teaching we see how Jim is constantly applying the principles of gratitude, positivity and service to others. We learn that the greatest success is when you can share your knowledge and your life with others and how crucial it is to really be of service to everyone who asks. Am so inspired and grateful to meet someone with so much dedication,openness and love of teaching and sharing. Jim gives his ALL and its great! Thank you Jim again and again just for being you and for believing in all of us. It makes an incredible difference.

Jim is a great teacher, skilled, passionate and is one of the best asset to help us pass the Real Estate test. Thanks again for all your help Jim!
Jim Watson was an incredible instructor. He made my experience at NYREI enjoyable and looked forward to every class I had with him. He helped me pass my exams, both on my first try!!! He knows real estate better than anyone else. And he is there to help you always.
Thanks Jim Watson!
Hands down the best teacher in the program. Gave you information a book could never give you.
Jim Watson was the highlight of my NYREI instruction!
He made me laugh in the midst of very dry material and kept me interested and alert. My schedule was set up to maximize taking his classes and it was well worth spreading them out to have a painless experience. His attention and good nature made it a pleasure and if I hadn't already had an agency to work with before I started the course, I would have taken up his offer to work with him in a heartbeat.
Thanks, Jim, for all your attention and extra help and yes, you're right, it was easy!
Exceptional! Jim Watson's real estate classes are, without question, a wellspring of practical knowledge for professionals who are seriously looking to regroup, renew and/or reload. In a manner befitting a learned scientist, Jim deciphers, diffuses and then disseminates the necessary and most relevant real estate information in a timely fashion. I encourage all who are required to complete continuing education and those looking to start a career in New York real estate: Reserve a space for any one of Jim's classes!
Here's someone that not only takes time out
of his busy scedule to answer all of your questions
be it big or small, Jim is also someone that has a lot
of knowledge and knows how to teach what he knows
well.
This is the best teacher in New York City!

Jim Watson focuses his efforts on preparing all of his students for a career in real estate. He addressed the specifics of issues that occur in real estate by allowing an open forum for learning. His methods in teaching how to compute cap rates I still use today with many of my investor clients.
Jim,
You have been a great mentor and teacher and I can't thank you enough in aiding me with this new career endeavor! Getting me
through the courses, the module exams, the NY State exam, the insurance contact, and the preparations with applying for and getting a New York State Home Inspectors License....I owe it all to you!!!! WHew! You really are the man! I seriously enjoyed going back to school!!!
Jim Watson's class was the best! I learned so much invaluable real estate info. from him.
If you stopped him in the hall, he wouldn't hesitate to answer a question-he'd always go the extra mile!
Not only is Jim knowledgeable, but he is also a great teacher! He makes the class entertaining and gives relevant examples that make the concepts easy to understand. Thanks for everything!
