Sales Associate's 45-hour Post Licensing Course

Active or inactive sales associates are required to successfully complete this 45-hour post-licensing education requirement before the first renewal of their license. This requirement has the effect of placing all initial licenses in a conditional (probationary) status because failure to complete the post-licensing education program will cause the initial license to become null and void. The 45-hour post licensing course begins with the ethical responsibilities and legal requirements that govern the real estate professional. We focus our attention on learning the keys to succeed by acquiring and maintaining sale-able listings, to qualifying potential buyers of real estate. The course takes the real estate professional through the process of the offer, the contract, exploring mortgage alternatives, and the closing process. Finally, we analyze real estate investments and the importance of properly managing the property.

Remember that the post-licensing education must be completed before you send in your renewal!

Real Estate Broker's Course

Our Brokers Course (See Broker Requirements) focuses on the laws that regulate our business activities. Knowledge of the real estate law helps the Broker provide the best possible service to the buyers and sellers of real estate.

Managing an escrow account is extremely important to Brokers and is covered in detail in our syllabus.

Managing a Real Estate Brokerage is critical to the success of the business.

The course covers budgeting, accounting, tax requirements, and the recruiting and training of salespersons.

The valuation of real estate property is an important step in listing, marketing and selling real estate. Brokers must be fully aware of the process to complete a proper Comparative Market Analysis (C.M.A.). One of the major ingredients for a proper C.M.A. is the market conditions adjustment. We cover this subject in detail.

Broker relationships with the customers and principals are an important part of the law. The public must be aware of the licensee's responsibilities to them.

Listing and sale agreements are also an important part of a Broker's responsibilities. Contract law is reviewed to ensure that the Broker can relay relevant information to the salespersons so that they can work with the customer/principal at a professional level.

Financing the property is key in nearly every sale. The licensee is taught to understand the mortgage process.

The course covers the closing process. It is important to understand that, as part of the licensee's responsibilities, the buyer/seller must be prepared for what they can expect at closing. During the course we explore the importance of having the knowledge to explain to the buyer/seller the information contained in the closing statement.

Finally, our Brokers Course discusses financial analysis techniques. Qualifying the property for "positive leverage". Broker's must be aware of the laws regulating land planning and the comprehensive plan as well as environmental issues that affect real estate transactions.
