Real Estate The
Importance of Continuing Education
|
All licensed real estate agents start out in school; most real estate
agents spend months taking detailed, intense courses on real estate
laws, proper business practices, and real estate information, laws and
programs specifically related to your own state. After studying for
weeks and passing a rigorous, detailed examination agents receive a
license from the state to practice the business of real estate in their
state. It is usually at this point that the real estate agent newbies
are sent out into the real world, sometimes to start up their own agencies
but usually to another real estate agency at least to start out. As
with all jobs, it is difficult to start out in a particular trade, especially
one as intimidating as sales. The livelihood of a real estate agent
depends on their ability to close sales, and there are numerous different
tactics to use when an agent goes about doing this, but it is important
to remain ethical and legal in every single aspect.
That's what Continuing Education courses are courses that are designed
to give licensed agents the opportunity to expand upon their knowledge
and gain greater skills in their trade. There are a certain, minimal
level courses that the state usually requires of an agent to renew their
license to practice real estate every year. Most of these courses are
brush up courses, refreshing all of the knowledge and particulars of
state laws as well as a little more of an introduction to good business
practices, sales tips, with a little more focus on the actual sales
presentation than the pre licensing courses. A list of the required
continuing education courses can be obtained from the particular state
in which an agent is licensed.
In addition to basic real estate continuing education courses, there
are some special designation courses that can be taken to enhance an
agent's skill and giving them even more prestige in the real estate
world. Such special designations such as CIPS (Certified International Property
Specialist), CRS (Council of Residential Specialists), ABR (Accredited
Buyer Representative), GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) are all designations
that would appear on a billboard, business card, or yellow pages ad.
If you saw Nancy Gordon, Licensed Real Estate Agent, ABR in a yellow
pages ad you could feel rest assured knowing that she had taken additional,
more intensive courses and has had more experience dealing in a particular
type of property business deal.
As an agent who has been in the real estate business for a while looking
to change firms or even to obtain a broker's license and open real estate
firm of their own may wish to take more intensive continuing education
courses, as well as obtaining a special designation or two. Many of
the larger, more established firms require that new agents obtain a
college degree in real estate, so taking a few real estate business
courses at the local university or community college might not be a
bad idea, either.
