Beginner Real Estate Agent!
Hello! I’m ready to begin taking steps in becoming a licensed Real Estate Agent in Austin, but there are SO many courses to choose from. Does anyone recommend either an actual in person course, or an online one?? And reasons of which you found one or the other to be more beneficial?

Brittany - I found my online course in Florida on Groupon actually! lol It was only $45, and it thoroughly prepared me for the state exam. Most state exams are very heavy in law and very light on how to actually be an agent, so be sure that you find a solid brokerage that will get you great training available on your time as well as 1-on-1 mentorship. Best of luck!!!
