Texas Real Estate License Online – Is It A Scam?

With regard to whether it is possible to get a Texas real estate license online, the short is, absolutely YES! However, there is application process with TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission), and you have to go in for your final exam, and get your fingerprints taken (I hate that part) before you can actually become licensed. So it cannot be totally, 100% completed online, but you can do the toughest part of it online – completing your Texas real estate pre-licensing courses.

Getting your prerequisites done online is definitely not a scam, if you use the right service. Online Texas real estate pre-licensing services like Real Estate Express have been in business a long time, they are TREC approved, and offer a great way for you to complete your pre-licensing requirements from the comfort of your home, and on your schedule.

You can do the coursework at night, on the weekends, or during the day if you wish. When I was doing my pre-license coursework, I did mine at night after work. I crunched and crunched, and got it all done in a just a month or two. What a satisfying feeling it is to get through 150 hours (I had some college hours, so I didn’t have to take the full 210 hours) just on nights and weekends in just a month or two’s time.

And when I took the test, I passed it the first time! Many people said it was really hard, and no way you could pass it on the first try, but if you go through the coursework diligently, and study hard, you can pass it on the first try. So don’t get discouraged, just put your head down, go through the coursework, and schedule test soon after you finish the pre-licensing work. The longer you wait, the more information you will forget!

One more thing, you can take the courses by correspondence, and perhaps even in a classroom setting if you don’t have a computer, or you just aren’t in to the whole “online thing”. But since you’re here, you probably don’t mind computers, and are perfectly happy with getting as much of the Texas real estate licensing process done online as you possibly can.

I know I did!
