Real Estate

The Business Division offers a one-semester solution to meeting the California Bureau of Real Estate (CaBRE) pre-licensing requirements for two of the three required courses before an examination can be scheduled. Designed to be completed in one semester, these two classes are comprehensive, intensive, and prepare you for the exam.

This program is delivered in a hybrid format, including 6 or 7 two-hour in-class summary meetings with most work done online, allowing you to manage your own time while pursuing this career path.

The program includes the following two courses:

• Principles of Real Estate: An overview of the principles and economics of real property ownership and transfer, reviewing forms, terminology, and processes involved. This course also covers land use history and the economic, legal, social, and political issues related to real property. Recommended for home buyers, home sellers, property managers, and anyone involved in housing-related industries. This course is one of the two required for the Real Estate Salesperson license, serves as a prerequisite for many other real estate courses, and is designed to be completed alongside the other required pre-license course.
• Real Estate Practices: An overview of the operational methods of a real estate business, with an emphasis on the marketing activities of brokers and salespeople. The course uses Agent/Client and Buyer/Seller transactions to explore all aspects of real property merchandising. Required for both Broker and Salesperson license applicants, it is designed to be completed alongside the other required pre-license course.
