DESKTOP OR LAPTOP IS PREFERRED FOR CLASS

Becoming a real estate salesperson can be a confusing process for many people. It isn’t necessarily a career that requires a college education, but it certainly helps. It also isn’t a career where you can simply “hang your shingle” and start doing business immediately. Becoming a real estate agent requires a license that is regulated by the state in which you wish to sell, buy, lease, or manage real estate.

The state of Maryland's real estate salesperson licensing program consists of three courses: Real Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice, and Legal Aspects of Real Estate. Each course is college-level and has reading assignments in textbooks, assignments in workbooks, quizzes, practice exams, and final examinations.

• Real Estate Principles: Become successful in your field by understanding key topics, such as time management, the listing and selling process, property valuation, closing the sale, escrow procedure, taxes, financing, and more. Topics include Land Descriptions and Subdivisions; Acquisition and Transfer of Real Property; Liens and Encumbrances; Leases; Contracts; Unlawful Discrimination; Agency and Business Principles; Ethics.
• Real Estate Practice: A real estate license does not come with an operating manual, so we have created a course that focuses on what it really takes to succeed in the business. This course will expand your knowledge of the industry in an engaging and effective forum. Topics include The Business of Real Estate; The Art of Pricing and Listing; How to Find and Counsel the Buyer.
• Legal Aspects of Real Estate: Make the law come alive and explore some of the common myths and misconceptions that affect your day-to-day activities. Find out how you can avoid legal entanglements with this exciting course! Topics include Real Estate Laws; Contract Clauses; Influential Agency Policies and Concepts; and Disclosure Guidelines and Procedures.
