What's the difference between the Salesperson Course and the Brokers Course?
In Massachusetts to sell real estate, you must first become a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson. You must complete the required 40 hour Salesperson Course and then take and pass the state Salespersons Exam. Then, after working as a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson for 3 years, you would qualify to take the 40 Brokers Course and then be required to take and pass the state Brokers Exam. In Massachusetts you cannot own and operate a real estate company without a Brokers License. Many people go their entire real estate career with a salespersons license.

I noticed some schools charge higher and lower tuitions?
Have you noticed you tend to get what you pay for? Most private schools vary in charges. We have only top notch "active" Brokers teaching our courses, who really know what selling real estate involves. Learn from the pro's. Some schools do not have a real text book and give handouts at each class. Some use slide shows and you take notes. Some use a textbook that has information and laws about many states, not just Massachusetts which can be confusing. We use 2 excellent bound textbooks that has everything you need to know to pass the exam first time. They cover Massachusetts Real Estate. You'll keep this textbook for future reference. Plus they contains many, many practice tests compiled from previous actual test questions. Every student raves about these textbooks with full glossary of terms. The textbooks are a$65 value and are included in the total course fee.
