Get Licensed in Less Than a Month
Are you a New York homeowner looking to sell your property? Imagine saving tens of thousands of dollars in broker fees by representing yourself in the sale. It might sound too good to be true, but with the right approach, you can make it happen. By becoming a Licensed Real Estate Agent, you can not only sell your home but also open doors to lucrative real estate investment opportunities. Here's how you can achieve this in less than a month.
Why Pay Broker Fees When You Can Represent Yourself?
Real estate brokers typically charge a commission of around 5-6% of the sale price of your home. For a $500,000 property, that means paying $25,000 to $30,000 in fees. However, by obtaining your real estate license, you can keep the majority of this money in your pocket. Here's a step-by-step guide to becoming a Licensed Real Estate Agent and saving thousands on your property sale.
5 Steps to Save Big on Broker Fees
- Step 1: Enroll in a Real Estate Course at RELNY
The first step is to enroll in a real estate course at RELNY. Our comprehensive course covers everything you need to know to pass the New York State real estate exam. The best part? You can complete the course in as little as one to two weeks. Kristen Bacorn, New York's #1 Real Estate Instructor, will guide you through the intricacies of the industry, including topics like property management, property development, Broker Price Options (BPO), short sales, foreclosures, house flipping, and Real Estate Owned (REO) properties.
- Step 2: Pre-Register for the State Exam
As soon as you enroll in the course, pre-register for the New York State real estate exam. RELNY provides all the guidance and resources you need to navigate this process smoothly.
- Step 3: Pass the State Exam
With the knowledge and preparation from the RELNY course, you'll be well-equipped to pass the state exam. The exam tests your understanding of real estate principles, practices, and laws in New York.
- Step 4: Join a Brokerage and Keep Most of Your Commission
After passing the state exam, you'll need to join a brokerage to activate your license. Look for brokerages that offer high commission splits, allowing you to keep 90% or more of your commission. This means that when you sell your property, you'll save a substantial amount of money by not paying the traditional broker fees.
- Step 5: Sell Your Own Property
With your real estate license and brokerage affiliation, you can now represent yourself in the sale of your home. This not only saves you the broker fees but also gives you full control over the sale process.
Beyond Selling Your Home: Become a Real Estate Investor
Obtaining your real estate license doesn't just save you money on selling your home; it also opens up opportunities for real estate investment. As a licensed agent, you'll have access to market data, networking opportunities, and insights that can help you identify and capitalize on investment properties. Here's how you can leverage your license for real estate investing:
- Access to Listings
Gain access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), giving you a competitive edge in finding investment properties before they hit the market.
- Networking
Build relationships with other real estate professionals, including agents, brokers, and investors, to create a robust investment network.
- Market Knowledge
Use your knowledge and expertise to analyze market trends and make informed investment decisions.
- Reduced Costs
Save on commission fees when buying and selling investment properties, maximizing your returns.
Kristen Bacorn's comprehensive instruction at RELNY will also cover critical investment strategies such as Broker Price Options (BPO), understanding foreclosures and short sales, navigating Real Estate Owned (REO) properties, and effective house flipping techniques.
