I am often met with a look of surprise when I mention to someone that I am taking a class for continuing education to maintain my real estate license.
SO HERE IS WHAT IS REQUIRED OF EVERY OHIO REAL ESTATE AGENT IN ORDER FOR THAT AGENT TO MAINTAIN THEIR LICENSE AS OUTLINED BY OHIO DIVISION OF REAL ESTATE:
Thirty hours of continuing education every 3 years which MUST include :
3 HOUR COURSE ON REAL ESTATE LAW
3 HOUR COURSE ON REAL ESTATE ETHICS
3 HOUR COURSE ON CIVIL RIGHTS
The remaining 21 hours are electives and may include additional education on the required courses or any other APPROVED course on such topics as the appraisal process, financing, home inspections, fha products, short sales, foreclosures, marketing, internet marketing, including the E-pro designation, and title work, just to name a few.
As a real estate agent for over 22 years I very much appreciate these continuing education requirements for a number of reasons:
Real estate, like so many other professions is constantly changing and evolving, so I must educate myself regarding these changes.
As a real estate professional, I am involved in not only the transaction itself, but also with other parties to the transaction, such as mortgage loan officers, appraisers, and home inpsectors, so I need to know what is changing in their fields as well.
More often than not the transaction is brokered by 2 agents and it is good to know that the other agent must be up to date on his or her continuing education.
I strive to honor the phrase REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL as do so many of my fellow realtors.
