Mission/Purpose

The mission of the Real Estate Sales Agent program is to assist students in their quest for a Real Estate Sales license by providing the required qualifying pre-licensing education to potential real estate sales agents.

By offering in class and online, it optimizes educational opportunities for both local and state-wide students.

Assist clients in renting, buying, and selling property by becoming a real estate sales agent. This can be a very lucrative, exciting career. The program prepares you for state licensure testing and covers license law, real estate brokerage operations, agency and ethics, federal and state housing laws, titles, deeds, and ownership restrictions.
