I am trying to work towards gaining my real estate license to become an agent. I have been looking online for many courses for pre-licensing and am striving to become one. I currently travel for my profession and I’m out of town during the week. I would appreciate any insight for where would be the best place to start taking courses. I finished the book by David Greene “SOLD” and am trying to gain an understanding into the industry prior to jumping in. I don’t know if whoever I go through to get my pre-licensing makes much of a difference, but any guidance to help me though this journey would be fantastic, because I do not have anyone I could bring this up to that could help.
One thing you might do is look to see if Florida has a list of approved schools and the pass rate. Not sure that is 100% foolproof, but might give you an idea of some of the better ones.
I like in person classes, but I'm probably old school. Also that might cost around $1000. Maybe cheaper at a community college. That can take longer though and you have to do it on their schedule.
For online and cheaper try CE Shop or Aceable Agent. Those are popular.
For free try KSCORE at Keller Williams. All online, self paced....do it on your schedule. We can get you signed up if interested.
I used Real Estate Express (now Colibri Real Estate), but the suggestions above are great too.
After your pre-licensing course is complete, I highly recommend taking the Pearson VUE real estate sales practice exam to prepare you for the type of questions you'll see when you sit for your state exam.
Happy to connect if you have any questions about beginning your journey as a FL real estate agent. Good luck!
