Displaced persons by hurricane Katrina require new housing at an unprecedented scale there and in most other states. The federal government is pumping tens of billions of dollars into the region for reconstruction. (one billion = one thousand million) The opportunities for Real Estate agents to help out will last for some time, but not forever. Now is the time to get started if you too want to be a player.
Texas also features a number of first-class vacation resorts that require timeshare agents with a license. That is a good way to start out in the Real Estate business.
If you are planning to take the Texas Real Estate exam, you can save yourself time and money by being sure you are adequately prepared to pass it the first time. The pass rate for these exams is only 25 to 45 percent. By combining the Amelox self-paced online College Tutor with a community college Real Estate course, you can exponentially increase your chances of being among those who pass. In addition, with the expected influx of people displaced by hurricane Katrina you want to be one of the early ones on the scene.

Texas divides its Real Estate licenses into three parts: Sales Assistant, Agent, and Broker. The difference lies in the number of courses one has to pass. The Sales Assistant designation usually requires the passing of one course, often called the Texas Real Estate Principles course. It is akin to the one used by Timeshare sales people. If you ever went to one of their presentations, they are the ones that tell you all about the property, but when it comes to the money part they will never give you the price because they have to call in a broker -- by law. The Sales Agent (Agent) or Realtor designations require one or two additional courses, typically Legal Aspects and Real Estate Practices. The self-paced online Amelox College Tutor for Real Estate Agent covers both of these subjects in the same program.
No school or traveling seminar can claim that they have all their answers tailored just for you. It is not possible. Also, do not be misled by cleverly worded ads that appear to promise that an applicant can take the state exam at the school or over the Internet. Those are just summaries, akin to finals. All applicants must appear in person at a state testing center for the exam. However, with our college level, self-paced online interactive and student directed professional Texas Real Estate license preparation program you can pass Texas' state exam on the first try because we went further than most classes and textbooks.
We added these additional Topics: Legal Aspects and R.E. Practices, plus Community Property and Title Insurance because they are required in Texas. These Topics are taught in later courses to make your license permanent but some sneak into the basic license exam to keep the pass rate at a 35% to 50% ratio. You will be prepared!
You will find math review questions dealing with plot sizes, financing and commissions and a special section for appraisals. These math problems (with some companies you have to pay extra) have been carefully worked out in detail and are displayed for you. Nothing is left to guesswork. A short primer was added -- just in case.
To top it all off, we also made sure that you will know when you are ready for your class final or state exam by watching our unique success indicating Readiness Meter. This meter does not use the grade averaging method used by schools.
