Becoming an Agent
What you need to know about becoming a licensed Real Estate Agent.
Long & Foster Institute of Real Estate is available
in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C.,
and offers the required classroom course, Principles and Practice of Real Estate.
Students in Virginia and in Pennsylvania may take a classroom, correspondence or
an
online course. However, the class exam must be taken at the training center
by appointment. The tuition for this course will vary with the institution. The
course is given by the Long & Foster Institute of Real Estate and by many degree-granting
institutions and community colleges. This course covers all the technical aspects
of real estate - math, law, and theory.
It is highly recommended you take the State Exam Review class before the state licensing
examination. We offer this course each month and it consists of eight or twelve
class hours of intensive review; or you may choose a computer-based review through
our RE-Campus.
Call our Training Center at 1-800-543-3365, for schedules and locations.
Once you pass the Principles Course and the MD, VA, DE, PA or DC examination, you
must affiliate with a real estate brokerage firm (such as Long & Foster) in
order to have your license activated. If you are unsure of what you wish to do and
you want time to consider your options, you may choose to consider the Metro Referrals
department. It offers an alternative to becoming a licensed agent that allows you
to keep your license active, referring potential buyers and sellers to an actively
selling agent and collect a referral fee. At this point, should you choose to affiliate
with Long & Foster, you will join our post-license training program, Star builders®,
which will teach you the practical aspects of listing and selling properties. Following
our classroom and field training, you will be fully prepared to launch a successful
real estate career. If you have further questions, please call our registrar at
1-800-543-3365, or any of our branch sales managers.
