New Agent Training
The pre-license curriculum described above includes instruction predominantly in the technical side of real estate principles exposing the student to the concepts most likely to be on the state exam. Although some concepts in real estate practice and field work are covered in the pre-license course, field training will come from the sponsoring broker and from the REALTOR® Institute’s ROOKIE AGENT BOOT CAMP, a 30-hour four-day course that includes instruction in business development, prospecting for business, determining anticipated income, troubleshooting contract writing, how to avoid the risk of liability and a wealth of business resources. ROOKIE AGENT BOOT CAMP also satisfies the 30-hour salesperson’s post-license requirement.
