“The best part of my Dallas College education was having had the opportunity to gain an overview of the Texas-specific real estate arena under professor Redwine’s tutelage. It’s obvious that she knows her business, and I considered it an honor to learn from her wide array of experiences over many years of being in the real estate world.”

“The instructors were great and gave me more than what was in the textbook. I still reflect on their advice today, not just in real estate — but in life. With their stories and my observation, I decided to become a real estate broker and educator. ”
