Question:

Getting a real estate license?

Im 21 and this summer of 09 i want to get my real estate license for my summer break im thinking about attending champions in dallas but can i get some info like on the main courses i really need to take ?

Answer:

I don't know about Texas; I live and got my real estate license in Virginia. But what you should do is contact one or more major real estate companies near where you are. Many/most will offer licensing courses. They know the topics that must be covered; they know the hours needed to get you qualified to take the test. Many community colleges also offer the courses. One tip: Take a total immersion course. I did it over a 4-week period--three evenings a week and most of each Saturday. If I hadn't had a full-time job, I could have done it in about 10 days. There's a lot of stuff that's covered that just won't stick with you. If you spread the lessons out over, say, 4 months, you just won't remember enough. Also, there are a number of reasonably affordable (something like $69 or so) computer disk review courses. Buy them. They're slick. They really do resemble the actual test. And you can determine your strengths and weaknesses. Hope that helps.
