Real estate agents are required to be licensed before conducting any business. Online training is available in most states to complete your pre-license course.

What kind of Real Estate License School? Be cautious when picking a school. Some schools are somewhat new and have written their own online courses. Look for courses which are written by authors who are recognized. For example: Gaines, Coleman, & Crawford.

How long time does it take to get a Real Estate License? Look for online schools that allow you a full year to complete your pre license course. Some schools offer you just a few months to complete, and that can be a problem if you run into trouble during the course. You will get to learn: property basics, ownership transfer, real estate law, math, contracts and escrow.

How about support from the Real Estate License School? Look for online school that offer 24 hour 7 Day a week instructor support. Some schools offer you a 24 to 72 hour call back or email reply, and that can be a long time to wait for reply.

What happens after your course? The pre license course gives you the credit you need in order to become a professional licensed Real Estate Sales Associate (Salesperson). And after completing the pre license course online you have met the educational prerequisite to sit for the State Exam.

After you have completed training and become a licensed Real Estate Agent, there will be ongoing continuing education requirements. The usual minimum is 15 hours or so every 2 years more or less depending on your state.

A real estate career can be a wonderful and rewarding career. Training step-by-step comes first and training in the real world comes second. If you are persistent and do the work, then you are on your way to the Promised Land of great success.
