What’s the difference between a broker’s license and sales person license?
A brokers license differs from a salesperson license in two principle respects. First as a salesperson in order to do any acts that would require a RE license you need to be under the control and employ of a broker. For example, if you received a sales person license today but had not chosen a broker to work for, you could not do anything that would require a license because your license needs to be hung with a broker in order to conduct any RE related activity.
On the other hand a broker’s license does not require that you be under the control and employ of anyone in order to conduct RE related activities. You are your own walking real estate office.
The next main difference is that a broker can have multiple licenses. Conversely, as a salesperson your license can only be hung with one broker at a time. The salesperson license can be compared to a television set. The only way that television set can be turned on is by having it plugged in to the wall, but you can only plug it in to one outlet at a time. Similarly a salesperson can only work for one broker at a time. On the other hand a broker can have multiple licenses. For example, the broker can have a one license for a mortgage corporation and another license to sell RE from.
Why is the school called Adhi Schools?
Adhi is a Sanskrit word that meaning “first”. The founders of the school always intended the school to be the first in a number of respects. First we wanted the school to be the first or number one school in California as judged by student satisfaction and passing ratio. We also want to be the first school that the RE community when they want quality education and excellent customer service.
What makes your school different?
Well the truth is at the end of the day, all schools that offer courses approved by the Department of Real Estate are basically going to get you to the same place. The real question is - What is the journey going to be like in getting you there? Is it going to be easy getting in touch with the school? What if you have questions about some of the course material? Are the people that work at the school, just telephone operators or are they real estate people - all of whom are licensed? We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and an undying commitment to our students. This is probably why major companies like Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Keller Williams and others have all turned to Adhi Schools for their RE education needs.
What can I do with a real estate license in California?
