Finding The Best Real Estate School for You! - YouTube

hey guys I'm Ashley Pickens The real estate marketing maven and in this

video we are talking about real estate school so if you're trying to decide

whether or not to go to a classroom or take it online this video is for you so

thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe ok guys so for me the two

biggest standout pros for online school definitely have to be the convenience

and the fact that it's self-paced so most people who get into real estate

already have a full-time job you know they're doing this is kind of like a

side hustle or they might eventually want to go to real estate full-time but

in the beginning they have a full-time job so you know they're working from

9:00 to 5:00 or they have some they're busy most of the day a lot of times

people have kids so you have to worry about dropping them off picking them up

if they have extracurricular activities and sometimes being in a classroom it's

just not convenient your schedules just conflict have you ever had a class where

you really wanted to take it but it would just not work with your schedule

so with online classes no matter if you work like first shift second shift third

shift you can get in the class before your kids get up if you wake up a couple

hours early you could get in a class before they

wake up if you're like a late night kind of person you could jump in after hours

there's just no limit the hours are so flexible for online school hey so the

positive things about the classroom setting I say the two biggest things are

that it's interactive and there are fewer distractions so in the classroom

we all know you have that teacher who can break it down for you if you're

having trouble understanding you can stop right in the middle of class and

say hey I don't understand can you explain that again unlike in the online

online setting you have to wait it might be a delay in response to get an answer

to your question also in a classroom you're surrounded by people who are in

the same industry as you everybody in the class is trying to get their real

estate license so you'll probably be doing business with these people in the

future so it's nice to see them and know them so when you do work with them in

the future you already have that relationship built also in the classroom

since it's in the classroom and you have a teacher they stay it stays on track

right unlike in the online setting you could take three weeks to cover one new

but when you're in the classroom with a teacher she's gonna stay on pace stay on

topic each class it's the new lesson the next lesson and you can't like

procrastinate with all that flexibility you have being in an online classroom

say so guys really quickly I just want to show you how you find a real estate

school so when I was 21 and didn't know anybody in the industry didn't know

anything about finding a real estate school I literally googled real estate

schools and then all of these schools popped up that were near me so I

literally just went on here look at the reviews clicked on it went to their

websites saw when the classes were how much it costs and picked the one that I

thought worked for me that's how I did it now did I know all cities basically

have a real estate association so if you live in Dallas Houston LA you can real I

live in Memphis so we have the Memphis area Association of Realtors okay that's

the name of ours they have a website you can go to so whatever city you live in

I'm sure there is an association of realtors in that city so put that in

Google and find their website and on their website you will be able to find

real estate schools if you don't remember anything else I say please

remember whatever school you choose online or in class make sure it is

approved by the state I would hate for you to spend your coins on a school and

they are not approved by the states okay because they will not work you won't get

your license so on our Memphis area Association of Realtors they have all

the approved credited schools that you can go to and get your real estate

license so do that that's how you find a good real estate school now when I do my

online classes I always go to the C eShop there are so many online resources

but this is just the one that I really love the best and I take all my

continuing education at the C eShop and I actually got my broker's license

requirements through the C eShop when I got my real estate license my affiliate

broker's license I got it in the classroom when I went to get my broker's

license I took it online here at the C

shop so they're always what I love about them is they always have like some kind

of discount or promo right now they're doing 35% off their real estate courses

so I'm just want to show you really quick what it would look like so you

know what a what an online class is like so they give you a login you log in I've

been on the sea eShop for years so all my courses are here what I do love about

the sea eShop is that they will automatically send your certificate to

the state so I don't have to worry about putting out my certificate emailing it

to the state to make sure they know I've met my requirements they send it for me

so here is a class code up at this class that you have to take and I'm just going

to show you briefly what it looks like inside of the course if you were to be

an online class so you come in here they have like the units they break it down

for you all the units it looks like there are five units in this class at

the end of each unit there's an exam and then at the end there is a final exam

okay and you have to pass that in order to get your certificate here you can

also print all the slides off if that's better for you you can print them off

and follow along as you're in the class and kind of highlight what's important

to you so a couple things to note on the course orientation page it kind of gives

you a breakdown of how to navigate the computer requirements exam details

course completion and progress here's something to note so for technical

technical support is available by phone or live chat seven days a week and you

can also email but for questions related to course content you email the website

a course instructor will respond within 48 hours so unlike a classroom there

might be a slight delay if you have trouble understanding something in your

online class you gotta wait 48 hours instead of just being able to walk up to

a teacher and ask a question okay also down here most of the credit hours are

usually three hours more most of the classes are three hours so at times you

write here to make sure you complete your three hours real quick I'll show

you what it's like inside of a unit so basically you go through you have to

read self-paced murid understand click

through the slides make sure you understand them a lot of times if it's

something like a law or a rule they'll have another little link that lets you

click and go into depth about what you just read about just for a better

explanation so you go through you would read these make sure you understand it

and then sometimes I'm the CEO up they have little quizzes after a few slides

so you just read the question then the code answer can only be made at what

level answer the question they do that to make sure you understand what you've

read what you're reading ok if you don't answer the question or if you get the

question wrong it will make you go back you cannot go forward until you get the

question right ok I'm so that kind of just shows you what the slides look like

what an online class would be like it's self-paced you go with your own pace I

could do this whole course in one day or it could take me three weeks to do this

whole course so I just want to show you I do love the sea eShop there are other

online classes you just pick the one that's best for you
