This spring the Penn State Beaver Office of Continuing Education will offer two real estate courses for those preparing to take the salesperson or broker license examinations offered by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission. In addition, the courses may be of interest to those employed or seeking employment in real estate-related organizations, including title search, appraisal, and mortgage companies.
The salesperson and broker examinations require applicants to demonstrate an understanding of laws, rules, and other aspects of real estate practice. Completion of these two salesperson courses fulfills requirements to sit for the Real Estate Salesperson Licensing Exam. It is highly recommended that these two courses be taken concurrently.
“Real Estate Fundamentals” will be offered 6 to 8 p.m., Mondays and Thursdays, April 27 through June 15 for a fee of $250. The course will provide a foundation for the study of real estate in Pennsylvania, covering language, principles, and laws that govern the industry.
“Real Estate Practice” will be held from 8:15 to 10:15 p.m., Mondays and Thursdays, April 27 through June 15 for a fee of $250. The course will offer an introduction to all facets of the real estate industry and includes a survey of areas of specialization with emphasis on the role of a real estate agent in residential brokerage. Examination of a real estate transaction is designed and conducted to provide a working knowledge of actual forms and documents, including related mathematics.
