The Right Education Is Important
No one can become a real estate agent just by printing up business cards. The state of Georgia requires a high school diploma or equivalency as basic education for real estate agent. There’s also a requirement in Georgia to take a 75 hour pre-license course. This has to be at a real estate school approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission. No one can be a real estate agent in Georgia without a real estate license. The Real Estate License Qualifying Examination has to be successfully passed by a candidate in order to get this very important certification.
There are number of real estate schools in Georgia but not all of them are of high quality. How course content is taught is extremely important. A person is best educated by instructors who have in-depth experience in real estate and not just superficial understanding. Any school can coach a person on how to pass the licensing examination. Those schools that have superior instructors go one step beyond. They provide knowledge and tools a person will use to be successful in a real estate career.
