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

Participant[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)

ParticipantEarlier in this thread there was discussion of when we could get a 3br 2000sqft house with ocean view in LJ for under a million. One that was mentioned was 1034 La Jolla Rancho Rd, which was an REO listed at 999,000. See it here:
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-086024374-1034_La_Jolla_Rancho_Rd_La_Jolla_CA_92037
At the time the house was just pending, and supposedly there had been numerous offers on the place. Looks like it closed, at $1,175,000.
http://www.zillow.com/HomeDetails.htm?zprop=16855370
That’s $505,000 (or 30%) off the 2006 sale price of $1,680,000.
But, to the question, when can you get a 3br 2000sqft house with ocean view in LJ for under a mil? We don’t seem to be there quite yet, but we are close. And if you drop the ocean view there are a couple of places you can find that probably fit that bill.
LJ may not be dropping like outlying subprime neighborhoods, but it definitely is dropping.
