Many different licenses can take a long time to get.
A Real Estate License is not one of them.
If you move quickly, you could probably get your license in 3-4 weeks.
If you want to take a bit more time, you can finish up easily in a few months.
And that’s just working on it during evenings & weekends.
Taking the courses & tests can usually all be done online, with the exception of the final exam. You can also take the courses in person, if you prefer, but it’s usually more expensive.
After you take the courses, you’ll have a final exam along with fingerprinting, background checks, and other documentation you’ll need to submit.
You can find discounts & coupons for the online courses, so the cost to get your license is fairly inexpensive. Then you’ll have some ongoing costs which should usually be more than covered by doing one transaction each year (or even one every few years).
If you’re assuming it’s not worth getting a real estate license because it would be a headache or take too long, it’s just not true.
And, if you have a real estate license & serve a few clients each year, it can be a great supplement to your ministry income.
