AgentAdviceU
You’ve got your real estate license…now what? By purchasing your real estate licensing course from us, you also get FREE access to AgentAdviceU – real life agent training videos created by a recent CEO of the largest real estate brokerage in the world. AAU is normally sold for $99 through real estate schools across the country, but we include it free with your course purchase on our site in order to help new agents jumpstart their actual agent training.
In these videos you’ll learn:
- How to find the right broker for you
- How to set up your business for success before you graduate:
- How to build your social media presence
- How to effectively work your network & feel good about it
- How to find leads that you can turn into commissions
- Agent marketing and lead management
- How to sell or buy a home once you have a client
Unfortunately, your licensing courses won’t cover these subjects in any depth. The licensing courses only qualify you to become an agent. It’s important you learn the ins and outs of agent life before you graduate, so that you can rack up sales sooner after graduation than you would otherwise. Don’t wait until you get your license to start your real agent training.
Pass the real estate test – guaranteed!
If you don’t pass your state licensing exam, we’ll fully refund you. To be eligible, students must purchase a course from AgentAdvice.com. You must attempt to pass the state licensing exam at least twice within 45 days of completing the course material. Just let us know after failing the exam the first time, so we can help provide you with additional help. If you still don’t pass, you will receive a full refund.
Career Counseling & Job Placement
Whether you have a quick question about preparing for interviews or are ready to get connected to the best brokers in your city, our team is ready to support you on your real estate journey. AgentAdvice has helped over 50,000 agents and students pursue or advance their real estate careers in just the past year alone. And we work with the top new-agent brokerages across the country, so we can answer your questions based on what’s in your best interests rather than what’s in the interest of any one individual broker.
We’ve built the most affordable way for you to get your Real Estate License. All you have to do is attend at least 1 interview with one of our recruiters (+ provide feedback) after passing the state exam & before joining another brokerage, and we’ll reimburse you for the entire cost of The CE Shop course that you purchase from us.
That’s right – we’ll reimburse you whether you choose to join our team or not (but we hope you do!). About 50% of our tuition reimbursement graduates choose to work for our team after interviewing with us. The other 50% of our tuition reimbursement students that choose to join another brokerage still get their course costs fully reimbursed.
Virginia is one of the easiest states you can become a real estate agent. This is due to several licensing regulations and requirements:
- The prelicensing coursework is short – much shorter than other states. In Virginia, you only need 60 hours of education to become a real estate agent. That’s 50%-66% less than some other states.
- Virginia is one of the few states that has full reciprocity with other states. This means that no matter in which state you got your real estate license, it will either be valid in Virginia or will require less effort to acquire a new Virginia real estate license.
- You can retake the real estate licensing exam as many times as you need until you pass it.
The Real Estate Board licenses salespersons, brokers, and firms representing others in real estate transactions. The Board also enforces Fair Housing Law in cases involving real estate licensees and their employees.
The board is basically the one stop shop when it comes to real estate licensing in Virginia. They control everything from how to get your license, to maintaining your license, and help hold real estate agents accountable.
You will need to be familiar with the board even after obtaining your licensing.
Virginia is one of the few states where you can retake the real estate exam as many times as you need.
If you fail only one portion of the exam, you can retake only that portion, regardless of which one it is. You need to retake it within one year of the first examination; otherwise, the passed portion of the exam will stop being valid.
The Virginia real estate exam is split into two parts – the national part that has 80 points and the state-specific part that has 40 questions.
The national portion covers the following 11 areas:
- Property ownership
- Land use controls and regulations
- Valuation and market analysis
- Financing
- General principles of agency
- Property disclosures
- Contracts
- Leasing and property management
- Transfer of Title
- Practice of real estate
- Real estate calculations
The state portion covers the following areas:
- State legislation
- License law
- Transfer taxes
- Property taxes
- Fair housing
You have 150 minutes to complete the exam – 105 minutes for the national portion and 45 minutes for the state portion. You should answer 70% of the questions correctly from the national portion (56 questions) and 75% of the state portion (30 questions).
Around 70% of students pass the Virginia real estate examination, which is a high number considering the fact that in some states, the pass rate can be as low as 40%.
The exam is administered on a computer and lasts for 150 minutes, 105 for the national portion, and 45 minutes for the state portion. Once this time passes or you’re done with answering, you will receive an on-screen message with your result. If you pass, you will receive a successful notification along with your performance summary. If you fail, on the other hand, you will receive an unsuccessful message along with a report informing you of your strengths and weaknesses.
