About Us

CornerStone Institute was formed by Rick John in 2004 to provide education, training and consulting to real estate and other related industries in New England. His vision is to change the way licensees view education. While it is necessary to renew a license, it is essential to make each real estate professional better at what he/she does every day! Preview our list of courses and let us know if there is anything else you would like to see us present. We appreciate your business and your ideas.

A portion of our income is donated to local, socially and environmentally responsible programs with a focus on children.
