RE agent licensing courses

[Kosta Makris]

Hi everyone,

I am planning to get my RE license and want to know a good route to go about it. I mostly want to do personal transactions and make the process easier for myself rather than do a typical agent's workload.

I am looking online and have found sites that offer online courses and administer exams (via online proctoring) and would like to know if this is a good route to go. I'm doing a free trial through The CE Shop and it seems good but will be good enough to pass the state exam? They don't have an actual text book to read from but rather it is all interactive and they cover the material (supposedly) that would be in a text book. Also, for the state exam, will I need to know the Real Estate Law and Subdivided Lands Law, and Regulations of the Real Estate Commissioner thoroughly? They are 194 pages and 150 pages, respectively, and seems tedious to memorize all that for an exam.

For those who have their license, how did you go about it?

Cheers!
