As in my previous blog let’s start with why before we talk about how. I don’t know what your why is right now but there are many good reasons to pursue a real estate broker license. First, having a Real Estate Broker License gives you that extra level of expertise that is needed in today’s competitive Real Estate world. It also allows you to open your own independent brokerage firm, as opposed to being under an existing brokerage house.
If you are looking to become your own man or woman in real estate, a real estate broker license is a must. Since you probably already have your real estate license, you realize that the only way you can work right now is under a real estate broker. Not only are they responsible for your activities, they get a piece of the pie you create.
Brooklyn real estate school helps you with the how.
If you have enough reasons why you want to become a broker, then you need to be licensed by the State of New York. The first step is to take the 45 Hour Real Estate Broker License Course. This course consists of 11 sessions, which can be taken in any order. Once all the sessions have been completed you can take both the school and state exams.
Even though the course curriculum and information is dictated by the State of New York, having an instructor who helps the course come alive in real terms will help you to become a broker who makes money and is able to maintain a profitable brokerage.
After you get your broker license, then what?
Having a license may be a dangerous thing, just ask the parents of driving teenager. A Brooklyn real estate institute can help you continue to build your career after you receive your broker license. Any successful broker is one who is continually learning and expanding their knowledge of the industry.
It is a good idea to sign up for coaching and mentoring programs. Coaching programs can teach you how to maximize profits and how to work with the agents under you. A good mentoring program will give you the opportunity to work side by side with an experienced real estate professional. You can learn how to buy and sell investment property for your clients, maximizing profits while minimizing risks.
It is good idea to take every course available. The information plus the hands on experience you will receive will make working in your own brokerage seem easier.
Networking in your Brooklyn real estate school
No school, not even Harvard believes they are the complete repository of important information for any career. Real estate schools are no different, but by networking with fellow students and faculty you can create sources of good information. Your mentor might suggest a reading list and some professional journals. A fellow student may recommend an online source of ideas. Your network may procure you an invitation to one of many prestigious professional societies where you can continue to network.
You may be your own boss at this point, however, only with the right knowledge and initial help is that worth anything.
