In this article, we will discover some of our staff’s favorite courses that many Realtors will find relevant to their work.

Texas (CE)

Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires that real estate licensees complete 18 hours of CE during each license renewal cycle (after your first renewal). License Classroom offers two 18 hour course packages to conveniently fulfill these requirements. Most agents and brokers should take the package Sales Agent & Broker CE, while those who supervise other agents should take Designated Broker CE.

Our Staff’s Favorite Courses (can be purchased as part of our CE packages or purchased individually):

• Broker Responsibility Course (6 credit hours) – You’ll learn the laws of operating a Texas brokerage firm such as fiduciary responsibilities, organization of business entities and the regulations of supervising agents.
• Roadmap to Success – Business Planning for RE Professionals (3 credit hours) – Whether you are launching your new career or you just need a boost, this 3 hour course will give you the tools to execute a solid business plan. You will learn how to create a referral-driven business that exceeds your client expectations and brings in new business opportunities, catapulting your career to a higher level.

Texas (SAE)

TREC requires agents that are renewing for the first time to take 98 credit hours to renew their license. The courses to fulfil this credit hour requirement are referred to as Sales Agent Apprentice Education (SAE). License Classroom offers two SAE course bundles that will satisfy TREC’s credit hours requirement, one for agents who already took Legal Update I & II and another for those who haven’t yet. Our Staff’s Favorite Courses (can be purchased as part of our SAE packages or purchased individually):
