Real Estate
Agent - Getting Licensed...
1. What information is given in
licensing class?
Most think this is an easy class about
how to sell real estate. It's far from that. This class
does not teach you how to sell real estate; no prelicense course
does. Any school licensed by the state is required to teach you the
laws and regulations applicable to agents, real estate fundamentals, math
concepts, and all the terms and definitions related to real estate, all 600 or
so of them.
2. Is the class hard?
Yes . . .but not if you
study. Anyone can pass the prelicense course if they are willing to
dedicate the time to learn the course information.
3. Where is the state test given?
There are 4 testing locations
in Georgia: Lilburn, Marietta, Macon,
and Savannah.
4. What steps do I need to take to get
my Georgia real estate license?
The best recommendation we can give you
is to take the class, study, and forget about what happens
afterwards. Worry about passing the course right
now. Once you complete the course and pass the school exam, then:
1. take the state test and
PASS
2. get a sponsoring
broker form from the real estate brokerage of your choice
3. take the
sponsoring broker form back to the state testing center to obtain your license
4. deliver your
license to your broker . . .now you are an active real estate agent!
5. what you do next
is up to you . . .hopefully you chose a brokerage that has an interest in
getting you started quick!
5. What if I fail the state test?
The State of Georgia allows
you to take the state test as many times as you would like for $91 each time
without having to retake the course. Hopefully, you will only have
to take the state test once after completing our course and passing the first
time.
6. Should I do the online class?
The ability to study at home or anywhere
you have access to a computer is attractive; however, many online students are
not disciplined enough to finish the course and find out that it ends up taking
much longer to complete the course than if they had just taken the live
class. The classroom environment also allows practice tips from the
experienced instructors our school has to offer. Our instructors are
not just “instructors”, they all each hold an active real estate license and
have excelled in real estate production at some point in their
careers. Most students prefer the classroom environment and having
to set aside time for class knowing that they "have" to
attend. The philosophy of most is the same as the philosophy for
those working out better in the gym with a personal trainer. There is
nothing you can do with a personal trainer that you cannot do by yourself
(other than a spot), but having to be there is the biggest battle.
7. After I get my license what do I do?
Hopefully you choose a brokerage willing
to help you out with this. Your first few months are the hardest and
most frustrating time. Being with the right brokerage office can
make all the difference to the new, and experienced agent.
