We at Coldwell Banker Flanagan Realty are always available to answer questions from people who are interested in starting a Real Estate career. After all, we were new to the business once, too.

Over the years, we've spoken to many newcomers and we find that certain questions are asked over and over, so we're taking this opportunity to answer some of the most common of these questions:
Q. How do I get a Real Estate Salesperson's License ?
A. By attending a licensed Real Estate School for 90 hours and then passing the test given by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission.

Q. How much money does it cost me to get started ?
A. The Real Estate licensing school and the NJ state test will cost approximately $350.00 - $450.00. Look under "Real Estate Schools" in the yellow pages and call for their brochures.

Q. After I get my State license, will I be able to sell Real Estate ?
A. In the legal sense, the answer is "Yes" (through your employing broker, naturally). But, as a practical matter, you'll probably require Real Estate Sales Training. ( The licensing school will teach you how to pass the State test but it does not teach you how to sell.)

Q. Where do I go for Real Estate Sales Training ?
A. Most large Real Estate companies, including ours, offer free sales training to new Sales Associates. (We have a 7 day "Coldwell Banker Fast Start" program in our office in Toms River.)

Q. After training, will I have any help if I need it?
A. In Coldwell Banker Flanagan Realty, your office Manager is available to you at all times to aid you in your efforts. The Manager's only job is to develop successful Sales Associates.

Q. How long after sales training will it take me to make some money ?
A. Our Sales Associates usually generate their first contracts within 30 days of completing "Fast Start" training.
