NINE REASONS TO GET A BROKER'S LICENSE

How about this close, "Mr. & Mrs. Homeseller, you have been talking to the other companies. I have a Broker's license which indicates more education and experience. Did any of my competitors continue their studies and get a Broker's license?" Could this get you a listing sometime in your career? If you have a Broker's License, you can work as an Associate for different companies at the same time if your bosses allow you to do so. You can sell and property manage or sell and broker loans, etc. If you received your license after 1/1/86, you already have at least three courses done for sure and would need only five more. A piece of cake. You never know when you will need or want one. Every day, we get calls from salespersons needing a quick Broker's license. When they have none of the courses completed, it can take 144 days minimum for the courses, plus test taking, grading, waiting to take the State Exam, etc., so start now. If as a Broker, you were hiring someone for a job and two people (each with 10 years experience) applied, and one had enough motivation to get a broker's license and the other didn't, which one would you hire? Some companies are now requiring all partners, managers and associates to be licensed as Brokers. Another example is if a married couple owns a company, both should be brokers. People die, divorce, etc. and there is no one to carry on. We get calls all of the time from licensees who need a license that day. The old theory "There is more liability if you have a Broker's license" is a myth. Also, you can still continue working for someone else if that is your choice. The cost of renewing a Broker's license is now $27.50 per year and a sales license is $16.25 per year - not much difference in cost to be a Broker. If you are retired or just want to buy a new home, and you are a Broker, you do the math and you will understand the benefits. As a Broker you can property manage, be a loan broker, sell business opportunities, have your own office, etc. Courses have open-book or computer testing, 60% passing grade, no homework or essays to submit, etc. We have practice questions and cassette tapes that will get you ready for the State Exam.
