The Real Estate Advancement Institute Acquires The MilRES Course!
Our Story
"I’m truly proud to have acquired and refreshed real estate’s leading course dedicated to helping professionals better serve our military and veterans."
Tony Martinez
Since 2008
Tony earned his reputation by becoming the most recognized CDPE instructor, teaching more than 20,000 agents and shaping future trainers.
While the CDPE continues to be his signature work, he is now fully dedicated to expanding that impact through the MilRES Certification equipping agents to better serve our military members and veterans.

Bold Vision
The Real Estate Advancement Institute is being built with one clear purpose: to rise as a dominant leader in real estate education. Our vision is to create a powerhouse institution that delivers unmatched training, innovative resources, and a standard of professionalism that raises the bar for the entire industry. We are not just teaching; we are shaping the next generation of knowledgeable, ethical, and highly skilled agents.
Remember the past
Since 2008
Tony taught his first class back in January of 2009. He eventually became a full-time instructor and later took on the responsibility, and privilege, to train and prepare the other CDPE instructors to teach the course. During his time as an instructor, he went on to teach well over 10,000 students prior to teaching the last live CDPE class in 2014.

“The MilRES Mission is more important today than at any point in recent history. Our active-duty service members and veterans are navigating one of the most complex and competitive real estate markets ever—characterized by rising home prices, limited inventory, high interest rates, and constant misinformation about VA loans. Far too many military families are being overlooked, underserved, or misguided simply because many real estate professionals lack the training, confidence, or understanding needed to properly advocate for them.”
Tony Martinez
“Short Sales never went away they just aren’t front-page news…yet. The minute the pandemic related lockdowns started; I knew that we were in for another HUGE wave of foreclosures. A certain percentage of these properties would doubtless be underwater, so I approached the Charfens about acquiring the CDPE brand with the intention of reactivating it and updating the content to reflect current market conditions. It's difficult to express just how incredibly proud, and humbled, I am to have acquired the brand that I used to work for and being entrusted with carrying on its legacy”
