real estate license: It’s a real estate license. Not a skill. Not a trade.
- 10/08/13 12:04 AM
In Georgia, it’s pretty easy to get a real estate license. As a matter of fact, it can be done online in your spare time at very little expense and inconvenience. The expectation is 75 hours of instruction. Interestingly enough, it can take about two years of school and real world training to get a license to cut hair. Think about that! A real estate license merely denotes legal authority. A licensee can legally operate in the real estate arena subject to the rules and regulations of governing authorities. Unlike the Georgia Cosmetology License which requires a skill assessment on work … (123 comments)
