Are All Real Estate Schools the Same?
So, you've decided to become a real estate agent. You’ve figured out the "how"—how to obtain your license—but now it’s time to move to the next step: who. Who are you going to trust to provide the education you need to meet your pre-licensing requirements?
Let’s start by making one thing clear: not all real estate schools are the same. There are different types of programs, and the one that’s best for you depends on how you learn best. Some schools offer in-person classes, where you attend scheduled lectures in a classroom setting. Others provide fully online courses, allowing you to study at your own pace from anywhere. Some programs have live virtual sessions at set times, while others are entirely self-guided. Choosing the right school isn’t just about availability, it’s about finding a format that fits you.
How to Choose the Right Learning Method
The best way to decide which type of real estate school is right for you is to think about how you learn best. Ask yourself:
- Do you prefer structure and accountability? If so, an in-person or scheduled virtual course might be ideal.
- Are you a self-starter who thrives with flexibility? A self-paced online program could be the better option.
- Do you need interaction with instructors and classmates? Look for a school that offers live discussions or mentorship opportunities.
- Do you have a busy schedule and need to learn on your own time? Completely remote, self-guided courses may be the way to go.
Finding the right learning format will make your pre-licensing education smoother, more enjoyable, and ultimately more effective.
