I highly recommend checking it out if you’re currently ‘winging it’ in any aspect of your business. These tips, scripts, and processes are an immediate improvement over any ‘on the fly’ prospecting.

Licensing Real Estate Courses

These are courses that help you get your real estate license. While these sources aren’t free, they are required for you to be in the real estate game. I highly recommend starting your marketing before you even get your license. 

Think about it: If you wait to start marketing until after you have your license, you’ll have wasted 2-6 weeks of simply not developing leads and spreading the word. No one is going to hand you a commission check the day you get your license. Start marketing now.

16) Local Real Estate Course Options

Nearly every major city has several local options and online local options for getting your real estate license. You can find these through Yelp, Google Maps, or Yellow Pages.

When calling around, be sure to ask for references and testimonials. You want to find a real estate school that’s proud of their alumni.

17) Kaplan

By: Kaplan

Kaplan’s brand means education. They are simply everywhere.

Their real estate school has a 4.1 star rating on Active Rain at the writing of this article. It seems that most agents find the regular courses useful and extra courses are hit-and-miss. This is definitely and option for agents looking for online real estate courses.

18) Real Estate Express

By: Real Estate Express

The other place that is nationwide when it comes to real estate courses is Real Estate Express. These online courses are reviewed rather poorly online.

But they do have a guarantee that you’ll pass your real estate exam. It’s worth checking out if you’re in the market to get your license.
