Pay as You Go
The Real Estate Salesperson Program follows a pay as you go model. That means you pay for each component of the program as you progress through the program instead of paying the total program fees all at once.
For example, when you register for Course 1, you only pay for Course 1. Upon completion of Course 1, you can register and pay for Exam 1. This pay as you go structure helps you manage the expenses of embarking on a new career.
The total fee for the Pre-Registration Phase of the program is $3,590.00 and total cost for the Post-Registration Phase is $570.00.
The total cost for the Real Estate Salesperson Program is $4,160.00.

Benefits of Becoming a Realtor
INDEPENDENCE
In real estate, a “day at the office” isn’t exactly a day at the office. One of the most exciting aspects of the real estate profession is the variety you will find from one day to the next and the independence that goes along with it.
As a real estate professional, you won’t find yourself boxed into the confines of the typical 9-5 workday. Instead, you will be able to manage your schedule based on what best suits you and your clients and customers.
GROWTH-OPPORTUNITIES
As a real estate professional your growth is often a direct result of the time you invest in finding, building, and leveraging opportunities. You'll find that your earning potential isn't limited by a salary cap or hourly wage but by the effort you are willing to put in.
As you do your best to provide compliant, high-quality service to clients and customers, you'll find yourself building opportunities for the future as the real estate needs of people you help continue to evolve.
