I am interested in going into real estate when I finish college and have been looking around at schools. Century 21 offers their own course (3 weeks) and another real estate company offers one for 6 weeks while the community college offers one for 8 months that trains you how to appraise and broker as well as just getting your license to sell. Which program is best and what is the difference between being a real estate agent (seller) and a broker? The costs range from $600-$2500

Hi There
I like your question. As they say you can judge how clever a man by his questions, and how wise a man by his answers.
As a property investor, mentor and developer, I have worked with numerous brokers and agents. To become successful in the real estate sector, you actually need three things:
1.Positive attitude
2.Lots of energy and
3.Techniques on how to close the sale.
With your background, to choose which one is the right course for you, you need to ask yourself:
“How much money and time can I afford?”
If I were in your shoes, I would do it this way:
1.Do the Century 21 course( because least cost, time and gives you the license)
2.Sell a few houses, set yourself targets and work your way up. Work with a successful agent as an apprentice.
3.When you think you are ready to go to the next level, do the community college course, or by this time lots of other doors will open to you.
Finally, remember, it is a journey, not a destination. Wish you luck!
