Begin Ohio real estate classes online or in person

If you’ve ever considered a fresh start in a lucrative career, there has never been a better time to become a real estate agent. As a real estate agent, you have the opportunity to help people with one of the biggest decisions of their life – buying a home! In addition to helping people, here are a few of the many reasons why becoming a licensed real estate agent could be the right fit for you:

IT’S REWARDING

You have the fulfilling task of helping people with their home buying or selling experience.

REAL ESTATE IS HERE TO STAY

The economy ebbs and flows, but at the end of the day, there will always be customers in need of your services and support to buy and sell homes.

FLEXIBILITY

Make your own hours that work for you and your schedule.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

You’ll have the chance to meet new people and be social in your community on a daily basis.

BUSINESS GROWTH

Take your career to the next level by becoming a licensed real estate broker. Be your own boss and build a team of your own.

UNLIMITED EARNING POTENTIAL

According to a 2020 analysis from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, real estate brokers made over $51,000 annually. Depending on your personal business goals, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your earning potential.

RELATED CAREER PATHS

The real estate industry is diverse, and it allows you to become anything from a personal investor to a property manager to a handler involved in land acquisition.

Above all else, real estate is a customer service business. Why? You’ll be involved in what is likely one of the biggest purchases or sales in a person’s life. For that reason, we encourage a self-reflective review of your career objectives and what you hope to achieve. Discuss these issues and goals with someone who has first-hand industry knowledge, and then make your decision. Click here to learn more about our Open Houses for interested professionals.

Once you’ve purchased classes with us, you have six months to complete them. Hondros offers multiple ways to take your courses, including: self-paced online courses (taken at your own speed), in-person classes, or livestream classrooms (held in real time from any device).

Our online learning format is “self-paced,” meaning you can take courses on your own time, at your own pace. Livestream learning is instructor-led in real-time via Zoom.

Yes! Both online and Livestream learning feature our expert-developed course material that you can take from the comfort of your own home.

With our self-paced online learning format, you’ll go at your own speed through the courses. You’re not on a set schedule, so you can choose to take the courses anytime and anywhere with an internet connection. Our online course format features written material with recorded video of our experienced instructors mixed in to keep you engaged.

Our Livestream courses are most similar to the classroom learning experience, as they are taught by an instructor via Zoom in real-time. It’s a great option for students who benefit from an interactive instructor experience. With Livestream learning, you’ll attend class virtually with other students at scheduled times, just like you would in the classroom!

When deciding between taking online courses, in-person classes, or livestream courses, it’s important to consider your learning style and personal schedule. If you require the flexibility to learn when and where you want, our self-paced online courses are for you. If you find, however, that you learn better from an instructor — and you have time to attend regularly scheduled classes or Zoom sessions — in-person or livestream learning is for you.

Great news! With Hondros, students are able to learn through a combination of all three learning channels — self-paced online, in-person classes, and livestream courses — in order to complete their pre-licensing education.

While we recommend purchasing a package with everything you need, you do have the option to purchase individual courses. You can access real estate individual course options at this link or through our pre-licensing page here https://www.hondros.com/programs/real-estate-salesperson/ohio/pre-licensing/.

Currently, we are shipping all textbooks to enrolled students. Once you have registered for your course(s), the textbook(s) will be shipped to you within 24 hours. You should expect delivery within 2-4 days of registration.

It is highly recommended that books are purchased, though not required. If you purchase a package, books will be included. You will have the option to pick up your books at any Hondros campus, or have them shipped to you (shipping charges apply).

Real Estate pre-licensing on Ohio requires 120 hours of pre-licensing education. Complete 40 hours of Principles & Practices, 40 hours of Law, 20 hours of Finance and 20 hours of Appraisal. All can be completed at any one of our multiple locations statewide, online, or mix & match to create your own custom schedule.

Upon successful completion of your Real Estate pre-licensing classes you will be given completion certificates. These are good for ten years.

Real Estate state exams are scheduled by calling PSI Exams at 1-855-834-8749 or by visiting their website at psiexams.com.

Please note that it may take up to 24 hours after each class for your attendance to be updated in your student account. If you do not see your attendance reflected correctly more than 24 hours after attending class, you can call Student Services at 1-888-HONDROS (466-3767) and one of our Student Services Associates will be happy to help you.
