Getting RE License for Myself

[Aecetia]

Rustico,

Does a school have to be accredited or do you just need a certificate and the ability/training to pass the test? Thanks.

Aecetia,
I would say off the top off my head that the school has to be accredited. The San Diego Association of Realtors has an education desk at 4845 Ronson Court, 858-715-8000. I think it couldn’t hurt to stop there and ask a bunch of questions. The people are really nice and I promise nobody will put a trademark brand on you.I think this is where I got the flyer for Allied Schools.The office is also a main hub for being in the business for many of us too.It might be beneficial in other ways , for people interested in getting a license, to stop by and get familiar with it.

[quote=SD Realtor]However armed with only a license you will need to hang your license with a broker in order to operate.[/quote]

Does that mean that if you have a license you need to have a broker to submit an offer on your own behalf? Or is the broker only needed when you start to represent third parties? It’s always been my understanding that you can submit an offer even without a license or a broker for yourself. Does this change if you get the license?

[quote=SD Realtor]If you want to earn MLS access you will also need to be prepared to pay the fees. [/quote]
And just how much are those fees?

[quote=SD Realtor]There is also E/O insurance.[/quote]
You would only need E/O insurance if you were representing others wouldn’t you? (am I correct or wrong about that)

My real intent to get the license is to get to a point where I feel comfortable with navigating the transaction process without someone else as my respresentative. I’m already comfortable with the negotiating, and with my knowledge of the market, I just want to know more about the logistics/details of the purchase process. Maybe the license isn’t necessary or the best solution. Maybe just some careful reading of informative books and review of documents. I’m really not very interested in getting into the field, just want to not pay someone 50k to help fill out forms and guide me through what strikes me as not a terribly complicated process. (And I was always raised with the saying, If you want something done right, do it yourself. To which I have found myself rather a believer in as I go through life)

According to the state web site, you must attend an accredited school (There are some exceptions discussed on the website, but in general, yes an accredited school is what they expect)
