Is there anything you don't use from Real Estate Agent courses?

Question

Is there anything you don't use from Real Estate Agent courses? I am taking courses to become a RE agent. I am wondering if there is anything that you don't actually use as a real estate agent or if all of the content will be used.

98% of the information you will never use.

Wayne Brooks · Answer

About 80%.

If you go in with that attitude of "I can forget 90% of this" you might have more difficulty with the test despite the fact that it is true.

Tom Smith · Answer

So you guys are saying I can just forget 90%+ of the course material after I take the license exam and I can still be a top-notch/producing real estate agent since I don't need 90% of the material to serve my clients?

I just want to know how fast I can get through the information and just pass the test. If you really don't need the information then it makes sense not to dedicate the time to really study it to remember it forever.

Word problem of the day:

If a township is 36 sections, and a section contains 260 hectacres, how many acres of residential housing exists if half of the sections are zoned RD-5, one-quarter zoned AR-2, and the remaining zoned BP?

Seriously though, there is some info that is only really pertinent to developers, surveyors, or appraisers. You will not likely be using this knowledge regularly if you are doing residential sales in an urban or suburban area. Agents in rural areas or doing commercial will probably find these tidbits helpful.

In terms of what is VERY useful to all agents: pay special attention to contracts and how mortgages work. You will be dealing with those two things all day long.

Good luck!
