At SES Company and its flagship brand, Advantage Septic, giving back isn’t just a slogan—it’s a core mission. One of the ways we demonstrate this is through our hands‑on, continuing education (CE) programs tailored specifically for real estate professionals. These events are designed not only to sharpen industry knowledge but also to foster safer, more informed communities.
A Day of Learning: “Understanding Septic Systems & Wells”
Last year, we hosted a high-impact, 2‑hour CE‑approved class called “Understanding Septic Systems & Wells.” Managed by Mike Lynn, Managing Member of Advantage Septic, the class provided an immersive learning experience that went far beyond the typical classroom setting.
Key components of the event included:
- Regulatory update: Realtors were brought up to speed on critical new regulations that would take effect just one week after the seminar.
- On-site tour: Participants visited multiple off-site locations showcasing different septic systems and well configurations, allowing them to see real-world examples rather than just diagrams.
- Expert‑led Q&A: Mike Lynn’s expertise guided in‑depth discussions, empowering realtors to confidently advise clients on septic and well considerations, especially during the due diligence process.
This dynamic approach ensures that local realtors not only receive their CE credits but also develop practical insights that directly benefit homeowners, buyers, and the broader community.
Why This Matters
- Empowered Real Estate Pros: Realtors equipped with a deeper understanding of septic and well systems can guide buyers more effectively, identify potential issues, and facilitate smoother transactions.
- Safer, Healthier Communities: When agents understand how systems function and what happens when they fail, homeowners can be better informed about maintenance and troubleshooting, thereby reducing public health and environmental risks.
- Industry Leadership: SES/Advantage’s investment in community education underscores their stature as thought leaders in the septic and well space.
A Commitment to Education—and the Future
Partnerships like this aren’t just about checking CE‑credit boxes. They reflect SES/Advantage’s dedication to fostering educated professionals who make better, more informed decisions. And by circulating accurate, up‑to‑date information on evolving regulations, they’re helping the community stay ahead of compliance and environmental standards.
