Important Tips for Choosing the Right Real Estate School
Real Estate is a booming industry. I recently became a licensed real estate agent after using an online real estate school. I thought it might be helpful to share some tips with others that are considering a career in real estate. Making sure you choose the right real estate school to fit your goals and needs is an important first step. My tips for choosing the right real estate school include:
Number of Years the Real Estate School Has Been Operational
Look at the number of years that a particular real estate school has been operating for. If the school has been operating for more than a decade, such as (and this is just an example) the Champion School of Real Estate (operational for the last 23 years), it means that it has a lot of experience. These schools will have an established curriculum, which is been constantly updated to meet the requirements of the realty business. Such real estate schools would also generally have quality instructors and tutors..
Types of real estate education Available
After you have zeroed on a particular school, find out the types of education that they offer. Many real estate schools offer classroom, correspondence, online and CD material as course material.
Classroom training
Classroom training has its advantages. There is a close interaction between the instructor and the student. Most real estate schools will conduct regular, evening as well as weekend classes to suit the requirements of the students. Choose the one which benefits you the most.
Correspondence
The second alternative for real estate schools are correspondence courses or home study courses. Normally the exams are open book examinations. The advantage is that you can study at your own pace. Examinations can be taken at the school campus or at any library or public place as designated by the school. All material must be read and understood by the students within a time frame of 90 days or as designated by the real estate school.
Online study
The third alternative for completing your real estate education is online study, and was the option I selected. Real estate schools that offer this type of education generally make their lesson plans and materials available by download (generally .pdf format) for the various courses. All materials and correspondence is done via email. Generally, online real estate schools are very easy to enroll in, and many consider them the easiest and quickest way to getting started in a real estate career.
The student generally just has to choose the course(s), create a profile, provide the billing information, and confirm all the details after which they can download all the course material. When evaluating online real estate schools, be sure to check that all materials matches the state educations requirement for real estate agents, and the schools is accredited to provide an education that can lead to your license.
CD Material
The last alternative is CD material that is shipped to the student after payment is made. Fewer real estate schools are offering this option as most move to more convenient online study.
Real Estate School Coursework
Course material should match the requirements of your State’s education board / commission for real estate licensing. Check whether the course material for the real estate school fulfills the criteria of the state education board. For example, if you are looking to become a licensed real estate agent in Texas, make sure that the course content has the following:
1. Principles of Real Estate core real estate course [60 classroom hours]
2. Law of Agency core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
3. Law of Contracts core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
4. An additional core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
5. Another four semester (60 classroom) hours in core courses or in related courses acceptable to the Commission.
All states have requirements, which must be met for becoming real estate agents, brokers and realtors in their respective states. Students should ensure that the schools are providing them the requisite education to enable them to pass the examinations. Real Estate Licensing and Continuing Education (CE) requirements are different for each state. Before enrolling, find out whether the schools match the criteria as laid down by the state. For example, in Hawaii you can contact:
Hawaii Real Esate Commission
www.state.hi.us/hirec/
808-586-2643
Real Estate Commission
250 South King Street, Room 702
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
Talk to School Alumni or Seek other References
Lastly, it is important to talk to the alumni of the real estate school that you wish to enroll for. They can give you insight about the course material, the quality of the instructors as well, the quality and the validity of its course material (whether the course material is relevant and up to date or not) and the job opportunities that one can get after passing from a particular real estate school. If you do not have access to alumni, ask the school if they have other references or people you can contact. If they are unable or unwilling to provide these, that is a red flag about the school you should be aware of.
Hopefully, these real estate school tips will help you to choose the right school and ensure that you have a successful career in the real estate industry.

What is a good online course for real estate that will show me well? including how to do the paperwork and all
I would like to find a website that`ll give me the online courses for my texas real estate preparation, but i also would like to find something that`ll teach me the actual paper work that i would have to do with an actual customer who buys a house from an agent. I have heard that the real estate classes teach you nothing about the paperwork, and all it teaches is the Laws..but i`m not sure that is true.
http://www.trec.state.tx.us/education/providers_core.asp#CRADM
The above link is from TREC. Tx state real estate commission.
Scroll tothe bottom of the page there are some online schools listed there.
No company teaches you how to fill in the forms until after you have your license. Then you can take classes for that.
Best of luck
