Real Estate License Cost: Should You Become an Agent?

I wrote another blog post telling you if you should get a real estate license, you can view that here Should I become a real estate agent

Should you decide to become an agent after reading that article and you wonder where to get your real estate license, you can go here: Kaplan Professional Schools www.kpsminnesota.com

You will need to take course I , II, III which at the time of this writing is $229 per course. You will have to pay for books also. It’s a total of 30 hours per course. Sometimes they offer weekend courses, but usually it’s a full time schedule during the week M-F. I went through this over 3 weeks. I did this about 5 years ago.

You also have a chance to go to 100+ Continuing education courses after you get your license. I go to a lot of them. I recommend Kaplan, they do a great job, and the books they provide are just as great.

Here is an example of classes I have taken for Continuing Ed over the last few years, most were through Kaplan (at the time named Prosource) . Some of these classes on the below list may not have been from Kaplan, but were CE.
