Why do I need a real estate license?

What people skills do I need to be a successful real estate agent?
A successful real estate career depends on great communication skills. But, you also have to remember that real estate is a personal business, so supporting your clients on both the good and bad days will contribute to your success.

What does a day in life of a real estate agent look like?
With the many moving parts to a real estate transaction, each day for an agent can look very different from the one before. So when you think about a typical day in the life, envision yourself multitasking and managing your time, tending to multiple transactions and relationships.
How much time should I plan to spend studying for the real estate licensing exam?
Time is valuable, and we know you don’t have any of it to waste. Set yourself up for testing success by studying regularly throughout the entire course rather than waiting until the week before the licensing exam. If you review and repeat the information, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of key course concepts.

The online pre-license course was presented in a way I could quickly and easily understand. I’ve had a lifelong aversion to math, but Colibri Real Estate made math fun for me! I wish I had this math instruction while I was in high school.

Very thorough. I entered the state exam with a lot of confidence, and after reviewing material, re-taking the quizzes and completing the course exam, I was left with a strong knowledge base with which to pass the exam to get my license!
