5 Things To Consider Before Getting Your Real Estate License
After teaching pre-licensing classes for many years, I’ve heard many different reasons for becoming an agent. Some students have told me they really like looking at houses so they think they would love being a Realtor. Others want to flip homes and re-sell them with dreams of getting rich quick. Some think that they can work as a Realtor part-time and double their income. Real estate is a wonderful, ever-changing field, but there are a few things that you may want to consider before getting your real estate license.

Satisfied Student Reviews
“Suzanne was knowledgeable and spoke on complicates topics making them easy to understand. She is friendly and had lots of patience while answering questions. Her experience, vast knowledge and passion for the industry made her an excellent instructor for the real estate licensing class.”
“I truly believe had I not done my pre-licensing with Coldwell Banker Elite I would have not been as prepared for the testing. Our instructors made sure we understood each section and gave us the tools to be successful in passing our test the first time. They were always available to answer questions and help me fully understand the material and concept behind it. Their knowledge and commitment is above all others. After seeing how each instructor was during our late night courses, the amount of support I received it also helped me make a clear decision on where the best brokerage would be to hold my license. Our instructors worked full time, then still gave it their all during our evening classes, sacrificing time from their families to help us succeed. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had taking the course through Coldwell Banker Elite. The acronyms that were taught are still engraved in my brain four years later. Thank you again CBE Family!”
