- Gary Roland has been full-time in real estate since 1978. (Prior to that, he taught English in high school and college.) he became a million-dollar producer and quickly became a multi-million-dollar producer. In 1983 he received both his Broker and Instructor’s licenses. He successfully served in management with one of Pensacola’s largest real estate firms from 1983-1993. This combination of teaching, selling and management experience has made Roland an exceptional real estate instructor!

This combination of teaching, selling and management experience has made Roland an exceptional real estate instructor!
Having secured his Florida Real Estate Instructor’s License, Roland has continually taught licensing courses ever since. Seeing the opportunity to better aid students, he opened Roland, Inc. School of Real Estate in 1997. Having a Master’s Degree and having taught and administered at the college level, Roland is an unequaled real estate instructor! His background in sales, management, and education combine to make a unique, highly-qualified instructor. He authored a much needed “The Nuts and Bolts of Real Estate–The Newer Agent’s Quick Start to Success” course to give newer licensees the tools needed to become more successful more quickly.
Roland does not teach just to the end-of-course exam. Many a student has taken such a class only to pass the end-of-course exam but find it impossible to pass the state exam. The purpose of Roland’s instruction is that the student UNDERSTANDS the material: the student can then pass both the end-of-course exam AND the state exam AND can be more successful more quickly.
Roland’s instruction is dynamic and animated, giving the students pertinent illustrations and explanations of the concepts to make them memorable for the students. Varied methods of learning and understanding are used since students differ in their means of comprehension and recall. Roland is a capitalist and, therefore, wants his students to make as much money as possible in their new career. He has taught some of the most successful real estate agents in the Panhandle.
