Description:It may be a surprise to you, but now is an excellent time to consider a career in Real Estate. Successful agents are flexible, patient, great communicators and love their job. Agents enjoy being in control of their income, setting their own hours and flexible vacation schedules. In Michigan, a 40 hour class, ranging from $200 to $500, is required to sit for the licensing test. This is the course mandated by the Michigan State Board of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons that all new potential licensees in the state of Michigan must take before taking the licensing exam. The class can be taken online or in a classroom all in one week, on Saturdays, or in the evenings. Many Real Estate schools send class materials in advance so you have an opportunity to prepare before classes begin, becoming familiar with terminology and basic procedures.
