Brown Harris Stevens (BHS) will be the first brokerage to offer a comprehensive Web3 education program powered by The Metaverse Institute, the company announced. The Web3 Metalaureate course will provide BHS agents with a solid foundation in understanding topics including NFT, DeFi, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and the metaverse. The Web3 educational platform will be available through The University at the BHS One digital hub.

“More of our clients are asking how their digital portfolios can influence the real estate process, and our agents need to understand how to navigate this new world. We partnered with The Metaverse Institute because it is no longer acceptable to operate in abstractions – Web3 is here and it is a growing wealth sector for our clients,” said Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens.

“The Metaverse Institute, and by extension the Metalaureate course, aims to break down the complexities of Web3 into digestible and actionable information. Blockchain has been used to transfer more than $270 billion in assets, and every agent needs to know what that means for their business and their clients,” said Danielle Garofalo, co-founder of The Metaverse Institute.

Founded in 2022, The Metaverse Institute was developed to create a central source of information for those seeking a deeper understanding of Web3 technologies. The Metaverse Institute has quickly become one of the world’s leading voices in Web3 education, recently launching a content partnership with the European Institute teaching students in 37 countries.

“Brown Harris Stevens is proud to be the first real estate agency to offer our agents a robust Web3 education powered by The Metaverse Institute,” said Chris Reyes, director of information and product for Brown Harris Stevens. “If brokers aren’t actively helping agents understand one of the fastest growing technologies in the world, then they’re missing a huge opportunity.”
