My husband is starting to buy, fix up, and sell houses. He wants me to do the selling. Is real estate school and a real estate license necessary? What do they teach you there?How much does it usually run and how long are the courses?
Hi Entyce68, A real estate license is not required to sell a house. However, it may be a good Idea to have that license if you plan to do more than 5 homes a year - that is the limit of houses you can sell without having a realtor list it. Having that license will allow you to sell the house and retain half of the commision. Unfortunately, the class is forty hours of wasted time - nothing but laws and nomenclature (names) they teach you absolutely nothing about buying or selling RE. Investing is a great way to learn RE and make large amounts of money doing it, always make the deal a win for all parties, be fair and honest, build your credibility and remember what RE is really about. Let me know if I can help you in your journey Best wishes
