Real estate license in Houston

Rohit Murti

Posted

Good Morning,

I recently moved to Houston, Texas and would like to work towards my real estate license. I have 2 options available. 

1) Attend classes in person (~$1,000) http://www.championsschool.com/real-estate-school/...

2) Online classes (~$500)

My question is this - would the recommendation be to attend classes in person or would online courses/study material suffice?

Thank you for your time.

While I do live in Houston, I have not yet decided on if I will carry my license over from Louisiana yet. That being said I can offer you advice based off of when I obtained my license in LA. If you feel like you can actually learn from a slide show so to speak. Then go with the online. Most folks think they can, and eventually get burnt out about 20-40hrs in. It get's pretty boring, no matter what the school promises.

The in person classes on the other hand, offer you that personal touch, that immersion in the material, that will help you to grasp it better. That is of course, if you learn better that way. The live classes will usually be taught by someone in the industry, which can be invaluable, having them breaking thing down further, give real world examples, and allow you to bounce your own what-ifs off of them.
