How would I go about becoming a realtor? I live in Texas?
I have heard that you can take this entire course online. Does anyone know of any websites that are good? Also would it be better to do it online or actually attend a school. How long does it take? How much does it cost. Thanks!
I didn’t say I couldn’t go to classes. I was just asking if it would be better to actually go to a class rather than online.
Look up Champions Real Estate school. I know they have several locations in the Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas. You can go in person or do classes online via your computer. It’s good to go to at least a few classes in person, however, as you meet people you can network with later and they often have agents from different real estate firms come and talk about their companies. It will take longer if you haven’t previously gone to college (college courses count toward some of the hours you need to become an agent). They have fast track programs where you can take the minimum # of classes (5 – if you have several college courses under your belt, otherwise you must take 7 classes) in as little as 2 weeks, but to do that you are going like every day and every weekend for like 10 hours. I think it’s better to do about a class a week (2-4 days) so you don’t get burned out. It’ll cost anywhere from $750 to $900. Maybe a little more if you buy a prep course to prepare you for the state and national test (strongly recommended).

Online schools are not really looked down upon persae, but I mean it might show that your not serious, i don’t see why you can’t go to classes.
