Hi Giovanna, and welcome to Boca! Portland and Oregon in general are among my favorite places to visit. While I can't give you too many tips about real estate licensing, I can definitely share some things about the financing side of the transaction. I'll send you a connection request.

I had a great experience getting my RE License in Boca last year at Gold Coast School off Military Trail. Try to get in Instructor Gaspers class, you'll love it!

Welcome down to south FL. Don't overthink it too much and make sure you are having fun in the RE game. I also did Gold Coast but the online class. I had asked around last year and most people recommended Gold Coast and I agree! I am up in Boca often enough so I would be up to meet at a coffee shop (not the Dutch style lol).

Welcome to Florida! I'm also a Gold Coast graduate as well. I did it all online and it was very easy to navigate.
I'm in Pompano Beach, but make my way up to Boca & Delray quite a bit. Please feel free to ask any questions, especially as you start looking for a brokerage to join.
I’m going for my real estate license, preferably in a classroom. And am looking for tips on which course/school to pick.
Also, if anybody is interested in being bought a cup of coffee, and talk real estate, count me in!
I just moved to Boca Raton from Portland, and before that from Amsterdam. Would love to connect.
If you're obtaining your license to focus on brokering investment real estate deals then welcome to Florida! However, if you're an investor and want to take advantage of the commissions side of your own investment transactions I caution you against obtaining your license. A real estate license means by law you're responsible for knowing everything related to real estate. The days of claiming "I didn't know that" vanish. You can be held legally liable for mistakes. Not to mention other Realtors are often reluctant to put deals in front of you. No matter which route you take I wish you the best of luck to you in your endeavors.
That said, Goldcoast School of real estate is a good option. I'd encourage you to also take their Exam prep course.

@Giovanna Jeanina Joubert welcome to Boca Raton. I am in Boca as well. We have a coffee meetup that meets the second Saturday of every month in Delray Beach. Let me know if you’d like more details, as this isn’t the forum where I can promote it.

Let me know details, specifically the time & place. I'm in West Palm Beach.
