Happy Birthday! Is it time to renew your MA license?

On Wednesday October 28, 2009 I took my continuing education for my Massachusetts license. Massachusetts requires all real estate sales and brokers to complete 12 hours of continuing education to renew their MA license. In Ma you must complete this requirement, which must be completed 24 months before your renewal date, which falls on your birthday. My birthday is Nov 10, so my time to complete this requirement was quickly approaching. I took the classes from the American Real Estate Academy www.area-school.com

The instructor was Peter Certo who’s been in the real estate industry in MA & RI and teaching for a number of years. He was very informative in teaching the courses. I like how he brought in real world examples in his teaching from being an active agent.

This was an all day event. The classes that were taught were “Residential Mortgage Loan Market and Credit Today”, “Foreclosures”, “Condominiums, Cooperatives and Timeshares”, “Section 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges”, Leisure Homes, Second Homes & Age Restricted Housing”, and “National Economic Trends and the Real Estate Professional”

I enjoyed the classes from the American Real Estate Academy and when I need to renew my license again, I will surely return to their school.
