I am pursuing a career in real estate and I need someone to point me in the right direction on how to obtain these licenses also if there are tests are they hard? are there classes for these that I can take? also any pointers and tips would help, also I live in the Philadelphia area.
Take some rel estate classes. Complete and pass the tests, get some experience, maybe work for someone else for a while, so you can get some experience and possibly learn more of the pros and cons. We are in a recession in my city and real estate is the worse field for anyone. More and more ppl are having a lot of fore-closures on homes, and real estate the worse field right now. Hopefully the city where you live in is more in the demand for a broker. Talk to some of the people who are already successful in your field. Take the broker license exam and once you pass, your all set. I heard it only takes about 6 - 8 weeks less. check to see possibly on line which one in your state is the fastest, some of them even have on line classes just as good. Good Luck.
you need to practice sales [or buyer agency] for 3 yrs to become eligible to become a RE broker. Thus, the first license in all states is a sales license regardless what it is called. while on line instruction is available, do NOT take it to prepare for the state exam~! [after you are licensed and need your bi-annual renewal hours, then it is ok to take on line courses] you also need to decide what type of RE practice you want to do; listing, dual agency [horrible thing] buyer's agency [much in demand] commercial res time shares ------ 100% offices where there is no commission split on your end, etc available to guide you further
You will ought to sign up for a truly property direction and feature the budget to be had to pay for it. When you could have accomplished it..you're going to write a three-four hour examination and want a seventy five-eighty% mark. Then you could check in with a truly property workplace as an agent. When you could have come to be very skilled and victorious, you'll be capable to cross a dealer's examination. It can be plenty extra worried and require extra talents than that of an agent.
First you have to find out the real estate course, licensing and continuing education requirements for PA. Then check out real estate courses in your area. Your local high school adult ed programs typically offer RE salesperson courses, and so do many community college continuing ed/adult ed programs. You need to know real estate law, real estate financing, ethics, etc, to obtain a license, and yes, the exams are typically very difficult. Also, you have to take additional coursework every year, take additional exams, and renew your license by proving you completed your continuing education requirements, passed any required exams, and pay a license renewal fee.
