20. What areas can I work in, if I get my real estate license?

1. What are the requirements to get a license?
   The requirements to take our 90 hour sales program are very minimal. The only rule is that you must be 18 years old to attain a real estate license and have a valid social security or tax id number. If you have a felony, you need to contact the Az Department of Real Estate to discuss possible license denial. Arizona residency and a high school education are not required. Our program is a beginner's course and takes you from start to finish! For the 90 hour brokers program, all the above requirements must be met in addition to having an active Arizona sales license for 3 out of the last 5 years.
   
   
2. Can I do my licensing classes online or by correspondence?
   Unfortunately, because of Arizona law, students are not allowed to take any licensing program online or by correspondence. According to the Az Department of Real Estate, all licensing education must be in classroom hours. RELC understands that most people have other commitments and hectic lifestyles and that is why we offer one of the most flexible schedules in town. You can even set your own schedule and come and go as you please. We want education to be fun and exciting, not a chore.
   
   
3. What do I need to know or bring to sign up for real estate sales licensing classes?
   The best thing about our course is that you do not need to have any background or knowledge of real estate to take our course. We will walk you through every step of the way until you completely understand the material. When you come in for your first day of class, all you will need is a pencil and a calculator and we will provide everything else.
   
   

4. 		Satisfied Student
   		"I would like to thank you for a great learning experience. I was very pleased with the method you use at your school. I feel that the curriculum and your teaching methods contributed greatly to my ability to retain the information." Mary Elliott, satisfied student

   Do you accept payments for the tuition?
   RELC collects the full tuition on or before the first day of class because the product is education and knowledge based.
   
   
5. How do I register?
   The registration process is very simple. There are two different ways you can register for classes which guarantee your seat in any licensing program. You can register by walking in from 9-5 Monday - Saturday or perhaps the most convenient is to register online anytime of the day 7 days a week. You can even register and start the same day... just come on in!
   
   
6. When can I begin sales licensing classes?
   With RELC as your choice for quality education, you can' t go wrong. We have 18 required sessions which are all independent topics. However there is no order to them, therefore, you can jump into the ongoing rotation at anytime we offer classes. No start dates means no wait time.
   
   
7. When do I need to complete my education and school exam?
   RELC gives sales and broker students six months from the date you come in and fill out a registration card to complete the course and school exam. We feel the material will be fresh in your minds if you finish within a maximum of 6 months. If students go over their time limit, an extension fee is required to continue enrollment at our school for another 6 months. However, keep in mind, there is no time limit on taking the state exam.
   
   
8. Do you have a job placement program?
   Absolutely. RELC's primary goal is to provide quality education, however, our service does not stop there. We care about your success in the field of real estate not just passing the state exam. Once you register, you can participate in our job placement program. This program allows our partnered brokers who also have excellent training programs to contact you and explain what they have to offer. Periodically, we also have our partnered brokers come in for a presentation before or after class so it is convenient for most students to attend. These presentations and the broker placement program are entirely voluntary but will be quite beneficial for a student who is unsure which real estate brokerage to work for.
   
   
9. Once I sign up, what's the procedure to get the sales license?
   RELC feels that knowing what to expect is a big part of passing the exam and being successful in real estate. Unique to our school, our testing strategies session, which is part of our 18 required sessions, goes over the process for taking the state exam and getting the license.
   First, you will need to complete all 90 hours of education which consists of 18 individual classes. Second, you will need to pass 2 of our school exams with an 80% or above to attain a school certificate. You can now take the state exam and will need a 75% or above for a passing score. Then you are ready to apply for the license and start selling and buying real estate!
   For a broker's license, our 90 hour licensing program is required in addition to passing one of our school exams with an 80% or above. Each exam consists of a national and arizona portion and then you can move on the state exam and get the license.
   
   
10. How often do you administer your school exam?
    We try to make it as convenient as possible for all students. RELC tests six days a week M-Sat.
    
    
11. How often is the state exam administered?
    The state exam is offered quite frequently .... Six days a week M-Sat.
    
    
12. How much will I owe in state fees after I finish your course?
    There are minimal fees paid to the state in order to obtain a real estate sales license. The state exam costs $90 ($125 for brokers) which is paid to Thompson Prometric and the real estate sales license costs $119 ($175 for brokers) which is paid to ADRE. Keep in mind, after only one sale or purchase of real estate, your commission will reimburse all fees paid from start to finish and still leave some left over for profit!
    
    
13. Can I pass the state exam and get the real estate license the same day?
    Absolutely. If you pass both sections of the state exam, National and Arizona , and if you can get to ADRE at least 15 minutes before 5pm Monday through Friday you can do both in the same day.
    
    
14. Where is the state exam testing facility?
    The closest one is in Tempe right by Arizona Mills Mall (only a 10-15 minute drive from the school) or there is also one in downtown Phoenix or Casa Grande.
    
    
15. Where is the AZ Department of Real Estate?
    On the northwest corner of 44th Street and Thomas: 2910 N. 44 th St.
    
    
16. Will I need to take anything else other than your 90 hour prelicensing course to get my real estate sales or brokers license?
    Yes, the AZ Dept. of Real Estate requires that all sales licensees know how to write a purchase contract before you attain a real estate license, which is essentially a wise idea! The Intro to Contract Writing course is a 6 hour course offered several times a month, which can be taken during your 90 hour program or after. Students will also need to get their fingerprints done because ADRE requires a background check. Both of these are offered at the school for a total package deal of $50 and are required by ADRE to obtain the license. You may sit for the state exam before taking these if you prefer. For brokers, a 3 hour broker management clinic is required and offered online for approximately $20 by RELC. ADRE also requires fingerprints to be done ($15) which we can do for you as well.
    
    
17. Can I sign up for the state exam before I take or finish your course?
    RELC wants to make sure that you definitely understand the material before you sign up for the state exam since it is very difficult to get a refund. We do not want any students to waste their money. Therefore, you must pass our exams and receive your school certificate before you sign up.
    
    
18. Are brokers still hiring new agents for part and full time?
    Absolutely. Brokers are definitely looking for new agents in both part time and full time capacities. Several of the firms are continually hiring because of the Phoenix market demand.
    
    
19. How long will it take me to complete your sales licensing course?
    It completely depends on your schedule. You have several options to pick from and can choose the one that works best for you. We have a 9 day, 4 ½ week or a flexible schedule where you can come and go as you please up to 6 months.
    
    
20. What areas can I work in, if I get my real estate license?
    The possbilities are endless. A real estate license can open the door to several different successful endeavors. Some areas to work in include: Timeshare, property management, new home sales, residential or commercial resale.
