SEGUIN – Enrollment is now underway for real estate pre-licensing courses at the Center for Professional Development (CPD) at Texas Lutheran University.  CPD offers a series of five pre-licensure courses that are required for individuals who wish to take the Texas Real Estate Licensing Examination.

Each course includes 30 classroom hours taught over a two-week period. The core classes include Principles of Real Estate I (Sept. 8 – 19), Principles of Real Estate II (Sept. 29 - Oct. 9), Law of Agency (Oct. 20 -30), Law of Contracts (Nov. 10 - 20), and Marketing (Dec. 1 - 11).

Electives to meet pre-licensing and renewal requirements include Real Estate Law (Jan. 12 - 22, 2009) and Property Management (Feb. 2 - 12, 2009).

The classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday, 6-10 p.m., at TLU’s Tschoepe Hall and will be taught by real estate veteran John Whitworth, a certified real estate instructor (CREI).  Texas Lutheran University is an official Texas Real Estate Commission provider.

The cost for each class is $130 to $150, which includes tuition, required textbooks, and materials. To qualify for enrollment, the fee must be paid in full by noon on the Friday prior to the start of the class on Monday. Payments may be made by check, cash, or credit card at the Center for Professional Development office, Tschoepe Hall, Room 125. The deadline for enrollment in the first class is noon, Sept. 5.  The late enrollment cost is $150-$170 per course.

The U.S. Department of Labor notes that “well-trained, ambitious people who enjoy selling—particularly those with extensive social and business connections in their communities—should have the best chance for success.”  The CPD real estate program has a proven track record of success for those who complete its pre-licensing courses.
