"John has written and presented sales associate and management training programs for GMAC Real Estate for a number of years. As one of our Learning Institute Senior Instructors, John brings a unique ability to relate to sales associates at all levels, beginner to experienced, without alienating either anyone in between. John's enthusiastic instructional style keeps the attention of all participants, and he employs small group activities to keep the energy high throughout the duration of the course. John is always a hit at our annual Business Conference - his sessions are often standing room only. John continues to be our most requested instructor across the nation."

"John has presented programs for our real estate school on negotiating and marketing. Our people loved him. "High energy", "humorous", "knowledgeable", "the best", "met our needs", "bring this guy back" were all comments from our people. There are very few instructors I would drive across the state to hear speak, but John is one of them."

"John Hamilton just did a 3 hour CE class for us on negotiating and it was outstanding!!! I had agents calling me for days telling me "it was the best CE class they ever attended. He is right up there with Howard Brinton. Can we have him back?" Not one bad comment! Our agents are used to having Bruce Aydt, Kim Dougherty and Mark Barker on a regular basis, so when they rave you know the speaker is great."

"Many instructors are great presenters and some are great course writers but few achieve a high level of excellence in both areas. Having worked with John for many years, I can attest to the fact that he is one of the few who excel in both designing focused training programs and delivering them in a manner that engages students and challenges them to maximize their potential."

"It has been a real pleasure for us to have John Hamilton on the faculty of the Certified Auctioneers Institute. John has been a consistent winner for us, teaching our adult students very important negotiating skills. The students respect him, and we can always count on him to provide valuable and up-to-date information. John has been the recipient of our Distinguished Faculty Award - a well-deserved honor reserved for only one instructor each year out of our faculty of over 25 teachers. We hope to continue to use him for our courses for many years to come!"
